Water resource

Water management: innovation and technology for efficient water use

Sofidel employs advanced solutions to optimize water use and minimize the environmental impact of its production processes. Through innovative systems and targeted investments, we are committed to more efficient and responsible water management.

Water Management: Innovation and Technology for Efficient Water Use

Through an innovative management approach that includes setting water consumption targets for each production facility and making targeted investments, Sofidel has significantly reduced water consumption in its manufacturing processes over the years, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable water resource management.

Production process innovation

Thanks to the optimisation of production cycles and efficient plant design, Sofidel keeps its water consumption well below the industry average. In our factories with ‘water reuse’ plants, consumption values are at the minimum expected by the most advanced technologies. The Waste Water Reuse plant at the Porcari (Lucca) paper mill saves around 230,000 m³ of water annually, thanks to a three-stage purification system: biological process, ultra-filtration membranes, and reverse osmosis.

Waste water management

In all plants, waste water is subjected to advanced biological purification treatments to ensure compliance with the strictest environmental standards, carried out at Sofidel’s facilities or to which the facilities are connected via public sewers. Sofidel progressively reduces the use of substances that are potentially harmful to aquatic life through strict selection of raw materials and continuous updating to technological progress.

Rainwater reuse

At the Sofidel UK factory in Baglan (UK), an advanced rainwater harvesting and reuse system has been installed, which uses an area of 82,000 m², allowing a reduction in water withdrawal of over 47,000 m³ per year. This solution helps to optimise resources and reduce pressure on higher quality natural sources. Where the conditions are right, Sofidel intends to extend this solution.

STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS

A shared commitment to the protection of water resources

Sofidel collaborates with leading suppliers and research institutions to promote sustainable water management, developing innovative solutions aimed at reducing water consumption and optimizing production processes.

Collaborations with the local area

Protecting water resources is an activity typically carried out in collaboration with local authorities and stakeholders in the areas where our production facilities operate. This collaborative approach has enabled us to align our manufacturing activities with local water availability, with the aim of avoiding contributions to potential water stress and without compromising the needs of other users, while making the most effective use of existing infrastructure.

UN Agenda 2030

For the shared goals of sustainable development

Sofidel supports the United Nations 2030 Agenda by incorporating the Sustainable Development Goals into its strategy. With concrete actions and strategic partnerships, we address global challenges such as climate change and responsible resource management.
