Benefits of saving water
Saving water in food processing will result in cost savings and environmental benefits.
- Saving water will reduce the cost of both mains water supply and wastewater disposal (i.e. potable water and trade waste), as less water will be entering and leaving the site.
- Saving water can provide opportunities for developing efficiencies in other areas. For example, using less water may mean that pumping water around the site is reduced leading to savings in energy costs and greenhouse emissions.
- Saving water can reduce the risk of environmental contamination or pollution, as water efficiency initiatives will lead to less wastewater.
