Industrial water reuse and recycling is the process by which wastewater produced from one source is treated so it can be used in an industrial process. Sometimes the source wastewater may be produced by the same industrial facility that treats it and reuses it.
Industrial wastewater can be recycled on or off site depending on space constraints and budgetary considerations. Recycling wastewater is important for the environment as it avoids straining drought-stricken areas and natural habitats such as wetlands.
