Reducing the use of water

Janssen also reduces the use of water. The company pioneers in smart waste water treatment and the reuse of treated waste water and rain water. We are also continuing to look for potential water reductions. The water is treated to the maximum in our own water treatment stations at Beerse and Geel.
The Energy and Water Team at the campus also set up new water-saving actions in 2013. The team's different optimization projects and awareness campaigns ensured a significant reduction of water consumption. The objective (10% water savings by 2015) is within reach, though the efforts must be maintained.
In past years the company took advantage of the optimization of the central production system for clean water at the Geel site: 25,000 m³/year was reused. In addition, the distribution of cooling tower water has improved. Small or large actions, all initiatives are welcome to achieve the intended saving of 100,000 m³ of water by 2015.
