Design for the Environment
Stainless steels offer lightweight, durable design solutions to the water industry. The resulting economic
benefits are illustrated by many existing drinking water treatment and distribution, and waste water
treatment installations. The same characteristics also enable stainless steels to contribute to environmental
benefits through lack of contamination of drinking water, reduced environmental impact of the water industry and recyclability. Together, these create global market growth opportunities
for the stainless steel industry.
