Ecolab’s Garland, Texas, Plant
水资源管理联盟（AWS）案例分析
2025年10月发布
洞察力
作为水解决方案和服务的全球领导者，艺康始终致力于通过智能用水管理、水资源保护和管理，创造一个水资源更加安全的未来。到2030年，我们计划通过以下方式，持续实现对水资源的净正面影响：
- 在运营厂区减少用水、循环用水及补充用水。我们的目标是在2018基准年的基础上，将全企业单位产量的水资源影响减少40%。
- 在高风险厂区回补超过50%的绝对取水量，保护当地流域。。
- 位于高风险流域的艺康生产工厂获得水资源管理联盟（AWS）认证，实现了AWS标准的成果。
- Ecolab's manufacturing facility located in Garland, Texas, is a key contributor to these goals. The Garland facility is a blend plant that primarily produces institutional, food and beverage, textile and life science products.
Ecolab's Garland manufacturing facility uses water from the city of Garland, which sources water from these locations: Lavon Lake, Lake Chapman (Cooper Lake), Lake Tawakoni, and Lake Texoma. Water from these lakes is treated by the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), before it is sent to the city and then to Ecolab's Garland facility. The facility's effluent water is sent to and treated at the Duck Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Garland facility was identified as a priority location to pursue AWS certification, enhance the site’s smart water management approach and implement innovative technologies to advance enterprise water goals.
措施
为了实现艺康的企业用水目标，当地团队的目标是到2030年将每吨产品的年用水量相比2018年减少40%。
以下项目有助于改善工厂的水平衡，并且已经实施以减少总体用水量：
- Monitoring and control of water use in chemical mixing processes
- Conducting plant assessments for water reduction opportunities such as wash cycle reduction
成果
As a result of these actions, the Garland facility achieved substantial water savings. 事实证明，该工厂所做的改进向加强工厂运营和推进艺康的可持续发展目标迈出了有益的一步。
精选解决方案
Leveraging Ecolab solutions and digital technologies help the Garland facility reduce, reuse and recycle water.
为了改善当地流域的整体健康状况，同时作为艺康创造2030年积极影响的努力的一部分，我们已优先在我们开展运营的高风险流域中获得AWS认证。

水资源管理征途
艺康致力于在我们的设施中实现可持续的用水，并在地方层面与其他企业开展合作。 In alignment with Ecolab's commitment to a holistic approach to water management across its manufacturing facilities, the company is pursuing the Core Certification for Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Version 2.0 International Water Standard at its Garland facility. The facility has continued to stay up to date on AWS requirements as it pursues the core certification.
To identify shared water challenges in the Trinity River’s East Fork Basin, a comprehensive risk assessment was performed leveraging insights from Ecolab’s Smart Water Navigator, and the World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Atlas. 根据风险概率以及对工厂层面和社区利益相关者的影响，优先实施减少取水项目。
Ecolab's water stewardship approach aims to make a positive impact within our operations and on the water challenges within the communities we operate in. For the Garland facility and local stakeholders, the top water-related challenges include natural disasters like hurricanes and freezes, flooding, and water pollution. Additional concerns include land subsidence from resource extraction, aging water infrastructure, loss of wetlands and species, and increasing water scarcity.
To effectively address these challenges, a strong water stewardship approach strives for continuous improvement in sustainable site water balance and water quality. Our holistic approach includes a focus on important water related areas (IWRA) and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and our continued progress in these critical areas depends on our strong water governance.
可持续的水平衡
净正面水影响
在我们自己的运营中采用可持续的水平衡和智能水管理方法，是实现整个企业净正面水影响的关键组成部分。根据企业目标，当地团队的目标是到2030年，将工厂每吨产品的年用水量相比2018年减少40%。 The team at Ecolab's Garland site assessed the facility for opportunities to decrease water use across operations to meet Ecolab's targets to create 2030 Positive Impact.根据风险概率以及对工厂和社区利益相关者的影响，确定实施节水项目的优先次序。
水质
水质管理方法
To maintain good water quality, wastewater testing is carried out internally based on permit requirements. Wastewater is treated prior to discharge in accordance with regulatory requirements, and periodic monitoring is performed to ensure compliance with environmental standards. Stormwater is managed separately, with visual inspections and sampling conducted at designated intervals to meet permit conditions.
Prior to draining stormwater and discharging wastewater, the facility must visually inspect and test the effluent to confirm that it meets the local environmental requirements, permit limits or company standards. 如果没有当地环保要求或许可证限制，则必须满足公司针对将雨水排放到邻近水道或将废水排放到城市下水道系统的相关标准。如果发生泄漏或与水相关的问题，工厂拥有健全的事件响应计划，其中包括对原始事件的根本原因分析、内部报告平台中的文档记录以及缓解策略的传达。工厂与水相关的合规信息可应要求提供。
水治理
水治理方法
在工厂层面，安全、健康和环境（SHE）部门负责废水合规工作。 The SHE Manager serves as the primary lead for ensuring operational alignment with environmental laws, regulations, and internal policies, while the plant manager holds overall accountability for site-level compliance.
In the event of an accidental discharge, the plant manager is responsible for overseeing prevention efforts, supported by the SHE Manager and production manager. To meet wastewater and stormwater compliance requirements, the SHE specialist conducts sampling for self-monitoring, benchmark testing, and performs quarterly visual inspections.
公司环境主管可就最新法规和废水合规性提供咨询服务。可应要求提供与工厂水源有关的合规信息，包括工厂为防止今后发生类似情况而采取的必要纠正措施。
公司可持续发展团队由可持续发展执行顾问团队（SEAT）提供指导和建议，该团队由公司最高级别的业务和部门领导组成。此外，艺康的可持续发展、水资源管理以及安全、健康和环境（SHE）立场也公开可查，作为对水相关问题及合规性的承诺和指导。艺康的可持续发展立场正式确立了艺康对公司内部的可持续发展及其对客户影响的全球承诺。艺康的水资源管理立场通过为公司及其客户寻找以有利于企业、社区和大自然的方式利用水资源的机会，强化了艺康对负责任的水资源管理的全球承诺。艺康的SHE立场概述了公司致力于在全球运营中追求卓越的安全、健康和环境实践与绩效。

集体行动
In addition to internal operational improvements, Ecolab's Garland facility's external water stewardship activities are ongoing. To address these shared issues, the Garland facility has started developing community partnerships through stakeholder outreach, seeking collaboration with other water users in the basin.
Ecolab associates at the facility continue to be engaged in collective action within their community. In 2025, employees in the Garland facility participated in two cleanup events at Duck Creak Greenbelt Park in January and May 2025 for a total of 65 associates completing 259 hours cleaning up litter to keep it from falling into nearby waterways.
On top of local water stewardship efforts, Ecolab’s global giving program, Solutions for Life, enhances the company’s mission to conserve and protect fresh water through partnership and additional projects with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Project WET Foundation.
