The global water crisis is undeniable. By 2030, the UN warns that water demand will outstrip supply by 40%. Compounded by climate change, freshwater scarcity is worsening, leaving as many as two billion people without reliable access to safe water and sanitation.
At Waterless Co., Inc., we believe these stark warnings demand action, not just attention. What's often overlooked is the profound work being done by major corporations—who utilize two-thirds of the world’s freshwater—to tackle this challenge head-on. With the right strategies and commitment, global businesses are proving that significant water efficiency and positive change are possible.
Pioneering Corporate Water Conservation: Case Studies
Global brands are redefining their operations to become stewards of this precious resource.
Levi Strauss & Co.: Disrupting the Denim Industry
It’s a staggering fact: producing a single pair of jeans can consume over 1,000 gallons of water. Acknowledging this massive footprint, Levi's launched Water<Less®.
This initiative utilizes over twenty proprietary techniques to drastically reduce water use in the finishing process.
The result? Levi's reports being able to reduce up to 96% of the freshwater typically used in certain denim styles.
The Impact: Levi's is actively sharing these best practices with other apparel manufacturers, setting a new, collective standard for sustainable clothing production and long-term water reduction—the very essence of water efficiency.
Intel: Restoring Water and Leading in Sustainable Tech
Recent discussions have highlighted the immense water footprint of the technology sector, especially in Artificial Intelligence (AI), where even a single AI-generated email can require significant water for cooling servers.
Intel, a key supplier of chips and components for these AI systems, is not only reducing its consumption but actively restoring water.
Intel’s operations in the United States, Costa Rica, and India are now officially net-positive on water use. This means they restore and return more freshwater to the local ecosystems than they consume.
As Intel's Chief Sustainability Officer noted, they were the first tech company to set a public, company-wide water restoration goal, a decade-long commitment to sustainability.
The Ripple Effect: Just like Levi's, Intel is sharing its water-saving and net-positive strategies with other chip manufacturers. This is creating a global movement toward corporate water stewardship and improved industrial water efficiency.
These are the stories that deserve attention—proof that large-scale corporate commitment can drive profound environmental and operational change.
