Water is a critical resource in pharmaceutical manufacturing, used extensively in processing, cleaning, and utility systems. Understanding this, Virupaksha Organics has developed a comprehensive water stewardship model that minimizes consumption and maximizes reuse across its API facilities.
Central to this strategy is a sophisticated water recycling infrastructure. Effluent treatment plants (ETPs) equipped with biological and tertiary treatment units ensure that water discharged from manufacturing meets or exceeds environmental standards. Much of this treated water is then redirected for use in gardening, cooling towers, or even back into certain non-critical process streams, greatly reducing fresh water intake.
Virupaksha also implements rigorous in-plant conservation practices. This includes automated water flow controls, zero-leakage maintenance programs, and training employees to adopt mindful water usage behaviors. By auditing every stage of water use—from raw material washing to final cleaning—they continuously identify opportunities to minimize waste.
These efforts contribute to the company’s broader sustainability goals, safeguarding water resources for the community and future generations. Clients and regulators alike recognize Virupaksha’s model as a benchmark for water-efficient operations in the API industry, reinforcing trust in their commitment to responsible manufacturing.
