If you work across different sites, it’s useful to know how much water each is using – and where you can make savings.
We can give you a clearer picture of what every one of your sites is using, and help you identify where each can be more efficient.
'As a result of working with Business Stream we have significantly cut our water costs by benchmarking our major stations and depots and proactively investigating and rectifying issues on sites with higher than expected consumption.' Read the case study in full for more details.

Water audits
Let one of our water efficiency experts walk through your sites. They know exactly what they're looking for, and will be able to identify opportunities to save water – and reduce your bills.
Benchmarking
We can also tell you how your water use compares to other companies in your sector and, for multi-site organisations, how your different sites measure up. This will help you decide which sites to target for water efficiency first.
The business sector accounts for a third of all water use in the UK. Here’s a snapshot of annual water use for a selection of industries:
| Sector | usage in m3 (tonnes) |
|---|---|
| Agriculture | 742 |
| Food and drink processing | 307 |
| Chemicals | 273 |
| Electronics | 241 |
| Paper and board | 155 |
| Hotels and restaurant | 138 |
| Plastic and rubber | 83 |
| Textiles and leather | 63 |
