Impact Zero | Engineering, Energy & Sustainability

Water & Circular Economy

Improve the way facilities use water, materials and energy. Impact Zero examines resource flows and engineering options to reduce losses, recover value and develop practical circular economy initiatives.

Discuss your project

Who we support: Commercial and industrial facilities, healthcare, education, government and other asset-intensive operations.

Water audits and efficiency

Review water bills, metering, process demand, leaks, fixtures, cooling systems and operating practices to identify feasible savings.

Water reuse and process optimisation

Screen reuse opportunities, treatment requirements, water quality constraints and integration with existing operations.

Waste and materials mapping

Identify waste streams, material quantities, handling practices and opportunities for segregation, reuse and recovery.

Circular economy feasibility

Assess resource recovery concepts, including technical processes, logistics, quality requirements, end markets and potential delivery partners.

Energy-water integration

Consider pumping, heating, cooling and treatment energy alongside water use to avoid shifting impacts from one resource to another.

Business cases and implementation

Compare capital and operating costs, practical constraints, approvals, safety, stakeholder needs and performance indicators before investment.

Our engineering approach

  1. Map water and material flows and operational requirements
  2. Identify losses, recovery opportunities and constraints
  3. Screen engineering and commercial options
  4. Assess permitting, safety, logistics and economics
  5. Plan implementation and measure outcomes

Frequently asked questions

Can a circular economy project be assessed before equipment is selected?

Yes. Feasibility should begin with material quantities, contamination, logistics, technology requirements and likely outlets.

Do water savings always reduce energy use?

Not always, but pumping, heating and treatment can link water and energy performance. The relationship should be assessed for each site.

Does feasibility confirm that approvals or grants are available?

No. Approvals, funding and commercial arrangements require separate verification for the specific location and project.
