Sustainability

Water is the number one used resource in the world, it is everyone’s responsibility to preserve this source. The projection is that by 2030, around 50% of the total world’s population will live in regions where there are severe drinking water shortages – (UN Environment program). In recent years, it is especially important for projects and events to meet sustainability and water circularity requirements to survive. Reaching sustainability starts with raising awareness.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #6 “Clean water & sanitation” targets six topics to be resolved before 2030 e.g., affordable drinking water for all, improve water quality and increase water-use efficiency. The world, continents, governments, companies, communities, and events, all need to move to sustainability and water circularity to survive in the future.

Reducing single-use plastics

Plastic bottles and waste are a growing problem worldwide. Many countries and governmental institutions are starting to implement new rules and regulations to limit their use. Some major event organizers are implementing ‘green initiatives’ to reduce plastic waste and meet their sustainability goals.

As the public becomes increasingly aware of this issue, we see that many visitors now carry reusable bottles in their belongings and backpacks. Therefore, solutions like bottle refill stations should be used to encourage visitors to fill up their reusable bottles with a real-time dashboard displaying savings made by the visitors.

Save drinking water

Saving drinking water not only improves the design of water infrastructures but also helps the user to measure water quality by using real-time monitoring systems, leading to better consumption and leaving water available for others.

The benefit of this monitoring is that early warnings can be detected from the data, preventing high volumes of water from being leaked or wasted.

In addition, water taps can be fitted with a start/stop button and sensors to promote water savings. Water saving can also be sourced from rainwater harvesting, A/C condensed water, or reusing surface water.

Reusing wastewater

Wastewater can be treated and reused for flushing toilets, wash water, irrigation water or discharged as surface water. Wastewater filtration can also be applied to water from lakes and rivers.

Treating wastewater on-site reduces the frequency of transportation. Sourcing from local depots/warehouses also reduces CO2 footprint.
