Innovation in water recycling
In 2024, we launched a pilot water recycling line at our Crolles site. This new installation recycles wastewater from the treatment plant and reuses it as ultrapure water in the production circuits. The pilot line is one of the first in the microelectronics industry in Europe. It is now qualified and will recycle and reinject about 40 cubic meters of water per hour.
Energy efficiency: a daily focus
Since 2013, ST's Crolles site has been ISO50001 certified. It is committed to continuously improving its energy consumption through a number of projects, such as the installation of free cooling systems, heat recovery chillers, and more energy-efficient equipment. The site has reduced its electrical energy consumption per wafer produced by 43% and its gas consumption by 62% since 2016.
