Year 2022 2023 2024 Total Water Consumed (m3) 225,916 261,490 231,729 Total Water Harvested (m3) - 7,650 11,187 Total Man-hours 10,985,154 15,704,670 18,274,778 Water Intensity, m3/ Man-hours (1,000) 20.57 16.65 12.68 Circular Economy Wasco is capitalising on its commitment to sustainability with a new initiative that recycles discarded polyethylene (“PE”) and polypropylene (“PP”) from its three layer anti-corrosion coating process. As part of its drive toward net zero carbon emissions by 2026, this effort reflects Wasco’s focus on reducing waste and boosting resource efficiency across its operations. The initiative reprocesses used PE and PP into resin, which is then employed for purging die heads during material changeovers—a crucial maintenance step that keeps machinery clean and ready for production. By using recycled resin, Wasco conserves virgin material for coating applications, yielding both environmental and financial benefits. The programme has already delivered significant savings, with recycled PE/ PP now constituting 7% of the total material purchased. The switch from virgin to recycled materials has resulted in an 81% reduction in purging costs, reflecting the initiative’s impact on both sustainability and operational efficiency. Aligned with Wasco’s broader sustainability strategy, this initiative supports Wasco vision to deliver reliable, competitive energy solutions while advancing its net zero goals. By closing the loop on these materials, Wasco not only cuts its environmental footprint but also strengthens its competitive edge in a sustainability-driven market.
