Austrian Lenzing Group is investing roughly €23.3 million to build a new wastewater treatment plant at its site in Grimsby, England. The investment is part of the company’s plans to reduce wastewater emissions by 20 percent by 2022 (against a 2014 baseline). Once it has implemented this project, Lenzing will have biological wastewater treatment plants that meet the best available techniques (BAT) quality standards at all its production sites. The plant design, which will employ a new technology developed as part of a research project, is fully aligned with the U.K. regulator and supported by the local authorities.
