While you are waiting for one of our experts to get in touch, you can learn more below about the changing landscape of water for British manufacturers and how Veolia can support.

Trade Effluent

Trade effluent is any liquid waste or wastewater discharged from a business or industrial process, excluding domestic sewage. Proper management and treatment is vital to prevent harmful substances from infiltrating public waterways.

As the manufacturing landscape evolves, the focus is shifting towards effective water management. Manufacturers must now optimise water use and trade effluent discharge efficiently. Rising water treatment costs and stricter regulations leave manufacturers balancing profit with environmental sustainability. But what if you could achieve both?

Legislation

In Scotland, trade effluent charges have risen significantly over the years, with an expected 8.8% increase for 2024-25, and further hikes expected as sustainability targets tighten. The upcoming Circular Economy Bill will further impact pricing with the Scottish Government's goals.

In England & Wales, costs are set to rise, with water companies proposing increases of 24%-91% over the next 5 years.

Additional to rising costs, manufacturers must improve either the quality of their wastewater or adapt by implementing sustainable treatment and reuse solutions. These practices will be key to compliance, cost savings and environmental leadership.
