Water Recovery
We do everything we can to ensure wastewater goes back into the environment contaminant free.
Just like our businesses, the health and longevity of our planet depends on careful stewardship. That's why we take an "eco-first approach" — every step of our process keeps natural ecosystems, like Puget Sound, in mind.
Over 80% of the world's wastewater is released into the environment without the treatment it needs to remain a safe source of freshwater.
While 66% of the Earth is covered with water, only 2.5% of that water is fresh. Of that 2.5%, less than 1% is clean enough to sustain life.
Without proper treatment, wastewater is unusable to the life that depends on it. Soaps, chemicals, and pollutants must be removed before it's added back into our waterways.
It takes high volumes of water to keep your fleet clean. Working with a partner who meets (or exceeds) EPA standards and local agency specifications ensures the water you use won't go to waste.
"Freshwater is essential for our planet. Freshwater is vital for people and wildlife – it needs careful management because there's not always enough to go around."— World Wildlife Fund
