Reducing water consumption in Shanghai at Perfetti Van Melle

We are working to reduce our water consumption through the implementation of efficient cleaning procedures, the recycling of water and good housekeeping, process optimisation, behavioural change of employees, the implementation of ‘dry’ systems and recycling of residual water. 

At our factories in Shanghai and Shenzhen, two sets of on-site wastewater treatment systems are capable of processing 500m3 and 750m3 of waste water on a daily basis. All waste water generated and discharged during our production and operation activities is effectively processed and efficiently recycled. In Shanghai, we collect the biogas produced during the wastewater treatment process and use it as fuel for production, further reducing our consumption of natural resources.
