Water efficiency in industries

Being more water efficient can provide companies with a competitive advantage

Companies increasingly face local water shortages, rising water prices and decreasing water quality, which threaten their production capacity. Being more water efficient can thus provide companies with a competitive advantage. A first step could be to carry out a water audit in order to map the water footprint throughout the various production processes and identify water streams that can be reclaimed and reused with proper treatment. This should be followed by the implementation of accurate metering and water quality control systems. High water prices in Denmark have forced Danish companies to develop technologies, which have enabled them to reduce their water consumption significantly without compromising product quality.

UN report: we must change our land use and agricultural practices to tackle climate change

Land is already under growing human pressure and climate change is adding to these pressures. At the same time, keeping global warming to well below 2°C can only be achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors including land and food, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its report released on August 8, 2019. Denmark welcomes the report and fully supports the transition to more sustainable land use and food production.
