Industrial wastewater management is no longer just about meeting discharge limits; it’s about building resilient systems that support long-term environmental and operational sustainability. This session offers a strategic framework for developing an action-oriented wastewater management plan that aligns with regulatory expectations and broader corporate sustainability goals. This presentation will review current wastewater practices, focusing on resource optimization, risk reduction, and circularity. It will cover practical methods for assessing treatment efficiency, identifying opportunities for water reuse, and reducing chemical and energy consumption. Additionally, it will discuss how to integrate wastewater strategies into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. The presentation will emphasize the importance of cross-functional collaboration among operations, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), and sustainability teams to create a more integrated and future-ready approach. Designed for engineers, facility managers, and sustainability professionals, this presentation provides actionable steps to transform wastewater from a compliance cost center into a driver of environmental value and operational excellence.
