Our latest innovation, the PURELAB Flex, epitomises this commitment by offering enhanced sustainability features designed to minimise environmental impact without compromising performance. Here's how the PURELAB Flex contributes to our sustainability goals: 1. Reduce water waste: With our new Reverse Osmosis module, water to drain is reduced by 20%, ensuring efficient utilisation of this precious resource. 2. Embrace power efficiency: The PURELAB Flex boasts up to a 55% reduction in energy consumption, embracing power efficiency without sacrificing water purity or system performance. 3. Sustainable materials: Made from up to 70% reclaimed material, the PURELAB Flex promotes sustainable manufacturing practices, contributing to overall reductions in embedded CO2 and operational CO2 emissions. 4. By incorporating these sustainability-focused features, the PURELAB Flex exemplifies our commitment to environmental responsibility while delivering reliable and high-quality water purification solutions for pharmaceutical laboratories. #### Digital documentation and eco-friendly disposal services Recognising the importance of a digital shift, at Veolia, we prioritise compatibility with online documentation and operator manuals for pharma labs. Additionally, we offer eco-friendly disposal services, ensuring the responsible management of water purification solutions at the end of their usable life. #### Brochure on carbon footprint transparency  We ensure complete operation and production transparency by presenting a comprehensive brochure detailing the carbon footprint of our solutions. This valuable resource empowers pharma lab teams to make informed choices aligned with their environmental goals. ##### [Discover the brochure](https://blog.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hubfs/VWT%20STI/3434_VEO_22_Carbon-Emissions-Brochure_v3.0-(2).pdf) *Our commitment to sustainability in water purification creates a greener horizon for pharma laboratories. By addressing the unique environmental challenges of the pharmaceutical industry, we ensure that water purity goes hand-in-hand with ecological responsibility, fostering a sustainable future for pharma labs and the planet. * ## Tags - [Pharmaceuticals & cosmetics](https://blog.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/?tid=97707974619) - [Science & Healthcare](https://blog.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/?tid=98572039417) ## Related articles ![Subscribe](https://blog.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hubfs/vwt-uk/subscribe.jpg) ## Sign up to blog notifications Receive the latest blog updates. {|error|} By checking this box, you agree to **Veolia Water Technologies's** [Privacy Policy](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/privacy-policy-veolia-water-technologies) and you agree to receive information on our products and services.
