Veolia calls for a rethinking of wastewater management

On June 5, 2026, Veolia launched a call to action regarding the reuse of treated wastewater. This project aims to strengthen water security worldwide. While the UN warns of a "water crisis," the white paper published by Veolia proposes concrete solutions.

Currently, only 8% of the world's water is recycled. To address this gap, Veolia emphasizes the importance of a renewable approach, requiring a mix of fresh and recycled water. The company encourages us to reconsider water not as a simple, linear resource, but as an essential renewable element.

The solutions promoted include a recurring UN-sponsored global water conference, new approaches to water security, and the development of relevant financial tools. Present in Chile, the Middle East, and Europe, Veolia is already deploying its innovative solutions on a large scale.
