The Life Sciences industry uses up to 23% of the world’s water supply, demonstrating the heavy reliance that the industry has on water, and making this industry vulnerable to the effects of water-related climate risks. The potential financial impact of water risks is reported to be an estimated 38% higher than the cost of addressing them, and as this industry requires varying degrees of water purity, it is imperative to apply circular economy principles in wastewater treatment.
