Water

Water quality and availability has become a growing concern for communities and businesses in China. More than 70% of lakes and rivers are considered to be polluted, and the water tables around Beijing and other major cities are falling every year. Textile production processes, especially dyeing and rinsing, consume substantial amounts of water, and discharge correspondingly large amounts of wastewater.

That is why it makes good business sense for members of the textile industry to pay attention to water issues. Managing water consumption and wastewater disposal can protect you from costly government intervention, and allows you to get ahead of future legislation which could limit water consumption or wastewater discharge. Responsible water management can furthermore help you attract environmentally conscious customers, and reduce water purchasing cost.

Purpose

• Reduce cost for purchasing water
• Avoid physical, regulatory and reputational risks in light of future water scarcity
• Promote the health of the local water systems
• Reduce up to 70% of water consumption after optimizing washing and rinsing processes
