A large number of SupPlant systems are already up and running in Limpopo and the Western Cape specifically, including the world’s first macadamia orchard where the sensor technology is helping decrease water usage while increasing yield.

While 80% of personal care products are just water, more water is used during manufacturing. And it doesn’t stop there, because even more water is used to apply the shampoo and hand wash and some more to rinse it off. How we do use less water in the life cycle of personal care products? AECI knows.

Approximately 2 000ℓ of water are used to clean a single tank container. It has been calculated that with the Mega-Inliner® up to five billion litres of water could be saved around the world every year! This is enough water for 300 000 people in Africa or 1,3% of Cape Town’s needs annually. AECI is the first in Africa to offer the Mega-Inliner® supply chain system to the continent’s burgeoning food and beverage industry.

AECI is leveraging its chemistry, procurement and customer relations capabilities to develop greener chemistry for a better world. AECI offers preservation systems to maintain the integrity of personal care products that have an aqueous phase, like shampoos, conditioners, creams and lotions. This helps reduce waste and improves product safety.

The rising cost of potable water and compliance with effluent discharge regulations are placing more pressure on the water intensive mining industry. At the same time, stakeholders are calling for greater commitment to reducing impact on the environment. AECI Water is rising to the challenge! Their five-year target is to reduce and/or replace more than two-billion litres of potable water used in the mining industry’s process streams. A number of successes are already been recorded.
