MANAGING WATER RESPONSIBLY
Water is critical to our business. Because water is vital to our operations, Accupac is committed
to increasing water e昀케ciency by 10% per unit of production by 2030. We acknowledge that in
2024, Accupac did not achieve a reduction in water withdrawal compared to 2023. However,
we remain below the 2022 baseline of 44,285,573 Gallons. Moving forward, we will continue
to improve our water e昀케ciency e昀昀orts, closely monitor water withdrawal, and assess whether
our targets need adjustment.

We conducted a comprehensive water risk analysis as part of our commitment to e昀케cient
water management. This assessment combined physical risk data from the World Resources
Institute (WRI) Water Risk Atlas with basin and operational risk data from the World Wildlife
Fund (WWF) Water Risk Filter.
The analysis helped us identify opportunities to reduce water ine昀케ciencies and address potential
water stress in our operational regions by evaluating physical, regulatory, and reputational
risks associated with our facility locations and operations. Furthermore, the analysis revealed
areas for improvement within our water tracking management system.
Accupac participates in CDP’s Annual Water Security assessment to communicate our wateruse and reduction e昀昀orts to stakeholders. This process maintains water as a high priority and
guides us in strategically assessing our management approach to water-related topics.
WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
Accupac initiated a project to upgrade the
wastewater management system at our
Mainland, PA facility to improve system e昀케ciency
and reduce the need for o昀昀-site wastewater
hauling. While the upgrade is ongoing, we
have made advancements and remain focused
on completing the project. This upgrade is
designed to improve water conservation and
management while lowering costs by increasing
the e昀昀ectiveness of waste and water separation.
