The challenges of water recycling
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, the demand for water will jump by 55% by 2050. However, only 11% of water is recycled worldwide, with strong disparities depending on the country: if this rate reaches 89% in Israel, it drops to 15% in Spain. It is even less than 1% in France! The leader of Veolia nevertheless estimates that the rate of 10% targeted by 2030, within the framework of the new Water plan announced by the authorities, is achievable under certain conditions. First and foremost is administrative simplification. Veolia is committed to tripling its production of recycled water by 2030 to bring it to 3 billion m3. In this field, the world leader in environmental services strengthened its know-how during its takeover bid on the former Suez group.
