Eastman knows that water is one of our planet’s most valuable resources, and we use it with considerable care. Our water management practices are based on two principles: efficient usage and pollution prevention.The industrial processes we have in place help minimize our water usage by treating it to meet specific purposes within the manufacturing cycle and recycling water whenever possible. Our water efficiency best practices help reduce:
- Cost of water and wastewater treatment
- Capital equipment costs
- Handling and use of potentially hazardous chemicals
- Carbon footprint — by reducing energy consumption associated with water treatment and distribution
Our wastewater treatment plants at our manufacturing facilities are designed and operated to meet or exceed environmental standards and to protect the health of our employees, our communities and the local ecosystems in which we operate.
