2 May 2024

All Committees

With climate change increasing both the demand for freshwater and water scarcity, the Asturias region of Spain identified that wastewater recycling for industrial users like DuPont could offer an efficient and sustainable solution. In collaboration with the local government, the DuPont Asturias site will reduce 80% of its freshwater consumption and replace it with reclaimed municipal wastewater. This partnership has produced a replicable model that will not only deliver significant benefits to Asturias but will also support municipalities across Spain and further afield that face similar challenges.
