The Challenge
L’Oréal enlisted Veolia’s help in developing a more environmentally efficient wastewater treatment facility for the L’Oréal plant in Suzhou, China. The new facility, which has been gradually ramping up operations since November 2012, will ultimately cut the plant’s operating costs due to a 8.5% reduction in energy use.
Veolia's Solution
A First In The Cosmetics Industry
The Veolia-designed solutions at the new treatment plant aim to halve the volume of waste and expand treatment capacity, resulting in smaller water and carbon footprints. Inspired by the success of the Suzhou facility – the first of its kind in the global cosmetics industry – L’Oréal called on Veolia to build an even more efficient wastewater treatment plant for its site in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. With this latest installation, L’Oréal Mexico will reduce the environmental impact of its effluent in an arid region. L’Oréal was honored at the 2013 Global Water Summit for its achievements in water management.
