Championing Sustainable Water Services
At Brightwater, we understand the critical role water plays in our lives and the environment.
As a home-grown water services company, we are committed to not only providing essential water solutions but also championing sustainability to reduce our carbon footprint and support the environment. Here are some tips on how businesses can use their water sustainably:
Reducing CO2 Footprint Through Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource, and its usage is directly linked to carbon emissions. By promoting water conservation practices, we actively contribute to reducing our carbon footprint. At Brightwaste, we want to encourage customers to save as much water as they possibly can to lessen their impact on the environment.
Water in Scope 3: Acknowledging Its Impact on Sustainability
Water usage has officially entered the realm of Scope 3 emissions, emphasising its significant impact on sustainability. As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, we recognise the importance of addressing water-related emissions.
Harnessing the Potential of Greywater
Greywater, which includes gently used water from sources such as sinks, showers, and washing machines, represents a valuable resource that can be reused for non-potable purposes.
Rain Water Harvesting
Rainwater can be harvested in a variety of different ways to be used in landscaping and other non-potable water uses e.g. flushing toilets.
Metering and Monitoring
Installing water meters and monitoring systems will track your business water usage in real-time. This can be a lifesaver for early leak detection and using water more efficiently.
Fixing Leaks and Regular Maintenance
Regularly inspecting your premise’s plumbing for leaks and promptly repairing them are essential ways to ensure you are using water sustainably. In addition, some water systems can have inefficiency due to malfunctions so it’s important to keep them at optimum performance.
Educating Employees on Sustainable Practices
Have employees run the tap till it’s cold? Or run lots of hot water down the drain when washing dishes at the sink? There is so much benefit to educating your employees on responsible water usage and how they can be more sustainable in the workplace.
