The use of conventional water resources for industrial processes is or may become restricted by ever-increasing costs, permit requirements and seasonal changes in availability. The use of effluent reclaimed from sewage treatment plants, offers an effective and workable alternative. Nowadays, this practice is applied in thousands of locations in Europe and overseas. Eleven companies in Flanders already chose this water source. Treated wastewater has many potential uses. In industry, it can be used for a gamma of applications ranging from simple rinsing and washing options, to cooling water makeup, or manufacturing processes, to ultra-pure water in high-tech processing.

In many water-stressed catchments stricter norms on water use and efficiency targets will force industrial complexes to find ways to rethink the way they manage water demands. In the last two decades, substantial steps have been taken in the direction of process integrated and external measures in Flanders, including water-saving equipment and in-plant water recycling.
