The UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) are new 2025 rules pushing businesses to report environmental impacts, like water use. Expected to start in Q1 2025, they aim for transparency, as explained by Positive Planet. Wychwood Water Systems, with 29 years of expertise, offers industrial water filtration systems to help UK industries comply. Our activated carbon, ultra-filtration (UF), ion exchange, and sediment filters produce clean water, as shown in our NHS Cambridge project. This blog educates on UK SRS and how filtration supports water compliance. See our filtration systems.
The UK SRS, aligned with global standards from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), require large businesses to report environmental data, including water usage and waste, in annual reports. Launched to match EU and global rules, they affect companies with significant UK operations, starting Q1 2025. Non-compliance risks fines up to £100,000. For industries like manufacturing, water discharge must meet strict limits to avoid penalties, making filtration crucial.
Why Water Compliance Matters
UK SRS spotlight water discharge, as contaminants like ammonia or sediments can breach environmental regulations. Manufacturing and healthcare sectors need pure water to comply, or they face fines and equipment damage. For example, dirty water can clog machinery, raising costs. Filtration systems remove these substances, ensuring water meets UK standards. Wychwood’s industrial water filtration companies help businesses avoid these risks, supporting compliance with tailored solutions.
Wychwood’s Filtration Solutions
The water purification process typically follows three steps:
- Ultra-filtration (UF): Clears bacteria and particles to 0.01 microns.
- Activated Carbon: Removes chlorine and odours.
- Ion Exchange: Targets ammonia for compliance.
- Sediment Filters: Clears solids for safe discharge.
Our UK team designs and installs systems to fit your site, helping meet discharge limits set by UK SRS.
Proven Success
Our NHS Cambridge project shows filtration’s impact. The hospital needed a new water system. Wychwood designed and installed a solution, delivering pure water meeting UK standards and cutting costs. Jonathan Patman said, “Wychwood’s expert answers made it smooth.” This proves our industrial water filtration systems support compliance for UK businesses.
Why Prepare Now
UK SRS increase regulatory scrutiny in 2025, demanding water discharge reports. Non-compliance risks fines, whilst poor systems raise costs. Wychwood’s 29 years of experience deliver UF and carbon filters for compliant water. Preparing now helps meet UK SRS and avoid penalties, ensuring your business thrives.
