Water Consumption

Water consumption​ 

All our facilities rely on water, with a significant portion used in the yarn-cleaning process. Wherever possible, we recycle and reuse water to reduce reliance on fresh intake.​ ​ In 2025, our Kleefsewaard facility water consumption dropped from 112 to 63, driven by the discontinuation of JetSpun Pulp production. Water is still used for cleaning activities at the site.​ ​ At our Delfzijl production facility, we partially replaced drinking water with industrial water in our processes, reducing freshwater intake while maintaining production efficiency.​ ​ Our factory in Emmen continued to deliver consistent performance, maintaining its low Water Consumption Index.​ ​ 

Water consumption index​ 

We track our performance using the Water Consumption Index (WCI), which reflects the volume of water used per ton of product, benchmarked against 2005 levels. The factories maintained their efficient water use through process optimization.​
