Business Water Use In The
Over-The-Counter Medicine Industry

Over-The-Counter Medicine Manufacturing Water Management

Over-the-counter medicine is a hugely critical part of the medical industry, as without this kind of medicine being readily available, Doctors’ Surgeries and Hospitals would be inundated with people requiring minor medical attention. These medicines are vital to maintaining the health of the UK population.

Many manufacturing processes use a great deal of water, including the manufacture of over-the-counter medicine. Not only does medicine need to be manufactured in a sterile environment which requires water usage, but the medicine itself may require water as an ingredient. 

With all of these factors considered, water sustainability is an important factor to consider in any over-the-counter medicine manufacturing process to keep costs down.

That is where we come in. Castle Water is the UK’s leading independent business water supplier. We have an abundance of experience in handling manufacturing businesses of all kinds and strive to bring our customers’ water bills down as much as possible.

Water Usage in the Over-The-Counter Medicine Manufacturing Industry

Having a clean and sanitised environment for manufacturing is important to ensure that no debris or impurities make their way into the process. While this is true for any kind of manufacturing, it is of the utmost importance when it comes to manufacturing medicines. Water is a primary component of ensuring a manufacturing facility is clean. In addition to sanitation, water can also be a key ingredient in many medicines, particularly liquid medicines.

Sustainability Within the Over-The-Counter Medicine Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing uses a lot of water, regardless of the product being manufactured. Water sustainability is hugely important to not only cut the costs of the manufacturing process by being efficient with water, but also due to the impact that using too much water can have on the environment.

It is imperative that your facility remains sustainable with its water use and that any industrial wastewater your facility or business produces is appropriately handled. Getting the correct trade effluent licenses and disposing of harmful chemicals is about more than just saving money and environmental safety, it can be a legal issue too.
