Water Recycling Facility

The Godfrey Hirst Carpets Water Recycling Facility was commissioned in June 2010.

The $3.5M state-of-the-art Facility is now saving up to 250 million litres of water a year.

By reprocessing 175 million litres of effluent production water along with 75 million litres of captured storm water and returning it to Class A water for reuse, the recycling facility will save 250 megalitres per year - the equivalent of 250 Olympic sized swimming pools.

See how our Water Recycling Facility (PDF) works.

 

 

The water recycling facility will also save energy and reduce waste by cutting:

  • Energy use by 5 per cent a year (15,712 billion joules)
  • Trade waste discharge by up to 70 per cent a year (175 million litres)
  • Godfrey Hirst Carpets, the largest carpet manufacturer in the southern hemisphere, has previously been recognised for its water and energy saving achievements including:
  • Winner of the Victorian Save Water Awards-Manufacturing Category and Overall Excellence Award 2005
  • National Greenhouse Challenge Plus Program-Medium Business Category Winner
