Tullis Russell Kicks Off Process Water Harvesting Project

24th July 2025 by Tullis Russell

As we enter the third year of our sustainability development goals, work has begun on the first phase of water harvesting with three huge tanks arriving at our Bollington site last week.

The aim of this particular action in our bid to creating a more sustainable site is to reduce our water consumption per TSM and also our reliance on existing sources. We will do this by removing  old condemned resources and replacing them with a range of  water storage units with the capacity to store over 100,000 litres of water. The tanks will enable Tullis to store and maintain water supplies, across the evenings and weekends for example, to later be used in our manufacturing process of coated papers.

Our goal is to have 92% of all manufacturing process water harvested from within our own site, reducing the reliance on external sources and in turn contributing to a circular economy.

This is yet another step in our journey to becoming the world’s leading creative and environmentally responsible coating company. You can read more about how we plan to build a more sustainable future here.
