Saving water makes good business sense says Diana Cook Director of CookPrior Associates
In many organisations, clean water and dirty water are often managed (procured and disposed of) separately. As a result, companies miss opportunities to “cascade” water usage from cleaner to progressively more dirty, and as a result miss out on costs savings both on water “in” and on water “out”.
Leading companies realise that they need to implement their environmental and sustainability objectives at an operational level if they want to make them a reality. A management process which links operational activities to overall objectives leads to results driven initiatives.
Diana went onto say "CookPrior Associates has many years practical experience in turning company objectives into bottom line improvements.
Also within the the OneNortheast region assistance may be available from the Midas programme"
Effluent and waste management are often low priority topics for many plant managers, and clean water is more often than not considered as a consumable rather than as a raw material. (In Europe water is a low cost item there is usually no cost driver to including water in a Bill of Materials.)
Taking an integrated view of water in the production plant can however highlight cost savings both in terms of supply and terms of disposal. In many cases associated energy and cost savings can also be realised
This is Good for business and Good for the environment.
