A big shout out to the PUB industry briefing sessions (27-28 July) introducing the new mandatory water recycling requirements for Electronics and Biomedical manufacturing sectors. The minimum 50% RR for specific fairly-clean streams (MF, UF, EDI, RO) from January 1st, 2024 & operational in the 4th year for the greenfield projects, will pave the way for a greener future. With Singapore's current water demand at 430 million gallons a day (55% from Industries) and an expected doubling by 2065 (60% from Industries), these initiatives are crucial. PUB's funding enhancement (WEF & IWSDF) & continuous improvement approach will #Elevate Singapore's water efficiency & water recycling to par excellence. Gradiant (water solutions provider in this ecosystem) technologies reduce freshwater usage, reclaim valuable resources, and renew water to its freshwater state. A special appreciation to the panel discussion led by Kiran Kekre, Roland Chan, & Jessica Le for their thought leadership sharing toward sustainable water management. 💧🌏 #WaterSustainability #SingaporeWaterEfficiency #MakeEveryDropCount
Last week, PUB organised two industry briefing sessions to share on the new mandatory water recycling requirements, which will come into effect from 1 January 2024. Over 150 representatives from the wafer fabrication, bio-medical and electronic sectors, solution providers, and consultants learned more about the specific requirements during design and operation stage, and the support that PUB would be providing, including technical advice on design plans and financial support through the enhanced Water Efficiency Fund (WEF). Attendees also gleaned insights from companies that had successfully implemented water recycling, such as Hoya Electronics, JMS Singapore and GlobalFoundries Singapore – and the cost-savings they have reaped as a result! 💰 With rising water needs and challenges of climate change, we need to ensure sustainable growth in our water demand. More can be done by businesses and households alike to manage our water consumption. Let us all continue to #MakeEveryDropCount!
