This World Earth Day, we are thrilled to feature Gradiant, a sustainability champion in our portfolio, on a mission to safeguard our planet’s water supply by converting wastewater into fresh, usable water. Their innovative approach not only addresses water scarcity but also redefines wastewater as an untapped resource.
Why Water Matters More Than You Think
Water’s importance extends far beyond its role in hydration. From manufacturing to powering the devices we rely on, water is a fundamental component of numerous industrial processes.
Gradiant’s President, Govind Alagappan, sheds light on a striking fact: over half of the world’s water consumption goes towards industrial processes, not just drinking. This revelation inspired a commitment to significantly reduce the industrial water footprint, ensuring sustainable water availability for future generations.
