Water Management
Water is an essential resource for life on our planet! Therefore, the Bio Extratus Group takes various measures to ensure water resources are preserved.
The actions we have implemented, which ensure efficient water management, focus on 3 main areas:
1. Preservation and restoration of springs
We have invested in planting more than 35,000 native or fruit-bearing trees around our factory, ensuring that 33.9 hectares of land are dedicated exclusively to environmental preservation. In addition, we built 11 ponds on this site, with a combined water surface area of 17,000 m². In addition to creating beautiful scenery, this investment helps maintain and increase the availability of groundwater.
2. Conscious consumption and waste prevention
In our manufacturing process, we use only the amount of water strictly necessary for the work—not a drop more. We promote the reuse of water at every stage where possible.
Our employees undergo periodic training to raise their awareness of the importance of conserving water, both inside and outside the company.
We also carefully manage the water resources used to irrigate our extensive green space, using low-pressure sprinklers and determining the best time to water lawns and flower beds.
Another important measure was the construction of a network of ventilated and illuminated utility tunnels with a total length of approximately 1.5 km, through which all of the company's essential piping runs. This way, the plumbing system is monitored daily by the maintenance team, and leaks are prevented and/or eliminated.
