According to UN-Water, global water use has increased by twice as much as population growth over the last century. Therefore the need to conserve this precious resource is becoming increasingly imperative.
Among the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, approved in 2016 by the United Nations Assembly, there is that of “improving water quality and reducing pollution, eliminating discharges, minimizing the release of chemicals and hazardous materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and increasing healthy global recycling and reuse by 2030.”
In the face of the growing global water crisis, it is now increasingly imperative to try to conserve this precious resource.
The 2015 World Economic Forum report also highlighted the global water crisis as the greatest threat our planet will face in the coming years.
From droughts in the world’s most productive agricultural regions to billions of people unable to access safe water sources, the water crisis is set to hit people and economies in both developed and developing countries .
It has therefore become imperative to reduce the water requirement in production processes and allow efficient not so much recycling but reuse of water
Therefore, it is now up to industry and commercial activities to make the correct investments that allow them to become “water neutral”, but at the same time transforming an expensive process of dutiful - sometimes obligatory - transition into an opportunity to reduce costs by increasing revenues.
Not always adapting to ecological needs must necessarily turn into an economic remittance for business.
