Navigate the Sustainability Currents. We’re Taking Care of Business.
Challenge
A packaging manufacturer desired to do business with a fast food company that requires suppliers to meet its sustainability program requirements.
Opportunity
The packaging company sought our assistance in designing a water management system that would meet the sustainability requirements. The goals were to reduce water and chemical consumption.
Solution
Earthwise Environmental specified reverse osmosis treatment for both the cooling tower and boiler systems. By removing supply water impurities, each system was able to cycle (concentrate) to levels that allowed for reduction in water, energy and chemicals. Plus, we replaced drummed liquids with solids packaged in cardboard cartons.
