(CercleFinance.com) – Soitec announces the commissioning of a new industrial installation allowing wafer rinsing water to be reinjected into the manufacture of ultra-pure water for the clean rooms of its manufacturing units in France.
Soitec plans to considerably increase the share of water reused in its industrial processes. The rate of reuse of waste water on its historic site in Bernin (Isère) will increase from 19% for the year 2023 to more than 35% for the year 2024.
This solution, developed by Soitec in Bernin for three years, constitutes an important step in the continuous improvement of resource management by Soitec, one of the major pillars of its sustainable development strategy.
Cyril Menon, Deputy General Manager in charge of Operations and Quality at Soitec: ‘This innovation in our manufacturing processes fully embodies the commitments made by Soitec for several years to limit water withdrawals, an essential resource for the production of semi-finished materials. -drivers’.
