A key part of our corporate strategy is to eliminate waste, or recycle and reuse the by-products of our activities. We're investigating innovative technologies and designing our systems to maximise recycling and reuse water and energy. We're working to restore and regenerate the natural environment and reduce our carbon footprint.

我们一直在寻找更多的方法来重用和回收我们的资源，与其他机构，企业和研究合作伙伴合作，以开发创新的回收解决方案。
Nature is the world’s biggest water recycler. All water on earth is used and reused in an endless cycle – the natural water cycle. We use technology to speed up this natural process, so we can reuse this precious resource without relying entirely on rainfall. It also reduces the impact of waste on the environment.
\r\nWe've been recycling water since the 1960s. We started with small irrigation projects and now produce billions of litres of recycled water each year. We provide recycled water for:
\r\n大自然是世界上最大的水回收商。地球上的所有水都在无休止的循环中使用并重复使用 -自然水循环。我们使用技术来加快这种自然过程，因此我们可以重复使用这种宝贵的资源，而无需完全依靠降雨。它还减少了废物对环境的影响。
自1960年代以来，我们一直在回收水。我们从小型灌溉项目开始，现在每年生产数十亿升回收水。我们提供回收的水：
Recycled water is wastewater that's been used in homes and businesses and treated so it's safe to reuse. We put it through a multi-step treatment process to remove impurities, so the purified recycled water can be used in many ways.

Recycling and reusing water means we don’t need to depend as much on rainfall and reduces the amount of waste going to the environment.
\r\nRecycling also ensures we have extra water available, in case of drought, to supply Greater Sydney's growing population.

\n我们处理多少回收水可以决定它的用途。我们以高标准对待它，适合其预期目的。我们目前不提供饮酒的回收水，因此我们不将其视为饮用水标准。
我们密切监视以确保其符合严格的再生水质准则，因此可以安全使用：
Recycled water isn’t the only thing we produce at our treatment plants. We also produce biosolids – the nutrient-rich by-product of the wastewater treatment processes.
\r\nBiosolids are a rich source of phosphorus and nitrogen and can be used in agriculture, land rehabilitation, horticultural processes and mining.
\r\nEach year, we produce around 180,000 wet tonnes of biosolids from Sydney's wastewater. The strictly regulated process allows 100% beneficial reuse in agriculture. This results in greater crop yield for Australian farmers and improved environmental outcomes.
\r\nWe support the Australian and New Zealand Biosolids Partnership.
\r\n"}}" id="ID03" class="cmp-text">再生水并不是我们在治疗厂唯一生产的东西。我们还生产生物固体 - 废水处理过程的营养丰富的副产品。
生物固体是磷和氮的丰富来源，可用于农业，土地康复，园艺过程和采矿。
每年，我们从悉尼废水中生产约18万吨湿生物固体。严格管制的过程允许100％的农业重用。这会导致澳大利亚农民的农作物产量更高，并改善了环境结果。
我们支持澳大利亚和新西兰生物固体合作伙伴关系。
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and NSW Health advise that biosolids are safe if produced and used in line with their guidelines. We meet all the requirements in the guidelines.

When solids are separated from wastewater during the wastewater treatment process, they go through biological treatment. This reduces pathogens, odours and particles that attract insects and vermin.
\r\nAll biosolids we produce are tested at laboratories to ensure they comply with regulations to protect human health and the environment. Our $25 million biosolids program uses the latest technology and treatment processes. This ensures we can:

Examples of biosolids use | \r\nBenefits of biosolids \r\n | \r\n
|---|---|
Agriculture \r\n | \r\nNutrients from biosolids are released slowly during plant growth. This increases crop production, provides superior water-holding properties and replaces nutrients removed from soil by harvesting. \r\n | \r\n
Composting \r\n | \r\nBiosolids are mixed with other organic materials such as green waste, shredded timber and sawdust and allowed to compost naturally. This material is usually mixed into the soil to improve soil structure and help hold water. \r\n | \r\n
Land rehabilitation \r\n | \r\nBiosolids are used to restore mine sites and degraded agricultural land. \r\n | \r\n
新南威尔士州环境保护局（EPA）和新南威尔士州健康公司建议，生物固体如果生产并符合其准则，则是安全的。我们满足指南中的所有要求。

在废水处理过程中，当固体与废水分离时，它们会经过生物处理。这减少了吸引昆虫和害虫的病原体，气味和颗粒。
我们生产的所有生物固体均在实验室进行测试，以确保它们遵守保护人类健康和环境的法规。我们2500万美元的生物固体计划使用了最新的技术和治疗过程。这确保了我们可以：

生物固体的好处 |
|---|---|
农业 |
在植物生长过程中，生物固醇的营养成分缓慢释放。这增加了农作物的产量，提供了优越的水性能，并通过收获来代替从土壤中去除的养分。 |
堆肥 |
生物固体与其他有机材料混合，例如绿色废物，切碎的木材和木屑，并允许自然堆肥。该材料通常被混合到土壤中以改善土壤结构并有助于水。 |
土地康复 |
生物固体用于恢复矿场和退化的农业土地。 |
