Our dedication to responsible water management extends to vigilant monitoring. We collect data on water usage for production, social purposes, and additional processes. The quality of water entering our facility through the Water Treatment Plant is monitored rigorously. Post-production, water quality is scrutinized through our Wastewater Treatment Plant, ensuring that effluents meet stringent standards before release to stormwater drainage system. Third-party assessments further validate our commitment regularly checking eight parameters, with regular reports submitted to local environmental authorities to comply with water management regulations.

Mercator Medical has made significant progress in optimizing water usage, achieving a consumption of 0.24 m³ per 1000 pieces in 2023 and further reducing it to 0.16 m³ per 1000 pieces in 2024. This brings us close to our target of 0.12 m³ per 1000 pieces and demonstrates the effectiveness of our sustainable water management practices. Previously, water consumption had increased from 0.1 m³ in 2019 to 0.27 m³ in 2022. This rise was attributed to a change in our deep well water usage rate (from 70% to 41%) and the lower output in 2022 due to challenging post-pandemic market conditions in the glove industry. We remain dedicated to reaching our water consumption target and further improving our water management practices.
