Water
Minimize freshwater withdrawal and reduce water pollution. E.g.: desalination, rain water harvesting, water recycling, wastewater treatment, water measurement systems
Produce products which will save freshwater in our own operations or at customer sites. E.g.: I-DRACRETO in concrete and SmartBlend technology in cement
