"Water recycled/reused

HanesBrands currently recycles water from non-process sources on a limited scale. For example, 1) At its Cotia Brazil manufacturing facility, HanesBrands recycles about 10% of its textile plant effluent for reuse in lavatories to flush commodes and also reuses a portion of process water. These two projects save over 500k gallons per year. 2) In the company's El Salvador Textile manufacturing plant, HanesBrands completed the installation of a reverse osmisis (RO) system to recycle wastewater for use as boiler makeup water, saving 32 millio gallons/year. Also at its El Salvador Sock manufacturing facility, HanesBrands utilizes the recycling / reuse of grey water from its cooling tower blowdown to flush toilets. However, this cooling tower blowdown water is not monitored due to its low volume. The company is reviewing opportunities for more extensive recycling and will consider monitoring of recycled water. It is expected that this water aspect will become relevant in the future."
