For industrial use, desalination plants have been cost-prohibitive and they carried a heavy environmental downside.

However, new technologies are radically reducing plant construction costs and the total cost of water. In addition, renewable energy-powered plants are beginning to become commercially available, scalable and affordable to organizations other than large-scale municipalities. Herein lies the opportunity for industry: to decouple its use of precious freshwater resources; supply its own; and support the production and reuse of pure-grade potable water for factory use in both production and non-production capacities.
