GG293 Managing water use and benchmarking in ceramic manufacture

Cover image showing: GG293 Managing water use and benchmarking in ceramic manufacture

This Good Practice Guide provides benchmark data against which companies in the ceramics sector can compare their performance, and practical hints and tips to reduce their water use and effluent generation. Simply by taking measures that cost little or nothing to implement, companies could save many tens of thousands of pounds every year, directly, through reducing water use and raw material use, and indirectly in terms of energy and labour. This Guide covers measures at all process stages, from delivery to cleaning, and gives advice on reducing effluent through the recovery of materials for direct re-use. Industry Examples highlight companies and the measures they have taken and the cost savings and other benefits that have resulted.
