How do we achieve it?
Here at Jurong Barrels, we maintain a zero-waste initiative in all our actions, from wastewater management to the use of recycled materials in our reconditioning processes.
Over 65% of waste and treated water are deployed in our reconditioning processes. Hence, in 2015, we have invested $400k in a wastewater plant that helped us reduce our water usage significantly.
