D-7 AMI WATER 4 COSMETICS
💧 Water 4 Cosmetics: Water, a lever for industrial and environmental performance
In a context of global and European water stress, where water is becoming a critical resource for the stability of territories and the competitiveness of businesses, the Water 4 Cosmetics Call for Expressions of Interest launched by Cosmetic Valley and its European partners as part of the ACTT4Cosmetics program, offers a strategic response with a dual challenge: preserving the environment while strengthening industrial performance.
🔍 A new angle: Water, a vital resource and factor in industrial transformation
Far from being a simple ingredient, water is central to manufacturing processes, equipment cleaning, facility cooling, and product formulation. Its increasing scarcity requires a reinvention of industrial practices: reducing consumption, recycling wastewater, purification technologies, smart sensors, nature-based solutions... all levers for increasing efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
