Seat factory reduces water consumption by 31%

By using cutting-edge technology and more efficient processes to reuse and recycle water used in its manufacturing processes, particularly in the paint workshop and rain test booth - the two areas that consume the most water - Seat has reduced its impact on the water cycle as it continues its commitment to preserve ecosystems.

The factory, which produces around 450,000 cars a year, still used 1,170,000m³ of water in 2018 - the equivalent of 470 Olympic swimming pools.

But it aims to further reduce consumption to 38% by 2025 by implementing even more systems and processes around the factory, from capturing water vapour in the air conditioning units to recycling huge amounts of waste water.
