Water and Wastewater

Responsible and Efficient Water Management

Water is of paramount importance to GELITA, as it is essential for maintaining high product quality. In response to the increasing scarcity of water worldwide, GELITA is committed to promoting water-saving production processes and improving wastewater management.

Saving Water and Improving Wastewater Management

Our global Wastewater Competence Center team is instrumental in coordinating projects and supervising the construction of state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facilities. GELITA takes proactive measures such as conducting thorough flood risk assessments and evaluating flood protection measures to safeguard water quality in the face of extreme weather events. Moreover, GELITA has achieved a remarkable reduction of over 2% in its water footprint from 2020 to 2023, primarily through the implementation of water reuse initiatives, aligning with their sustainability objectives. 

Looking ahead, GELITA aims to further reduce water consumption by an ambitious 20% by 2030 compared to the baseline year of 2020.
