BRATISLAVA DEVELOPMENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER z Petržalka, on the right bank of the Danube, is the largest residential district in
Central Europe; on the other side of the river and the freeway that runs alongside it is the historic Bratislava city center. In the 1970s, the number of
residents of Petržalka rose from 14,000 to 60,000, and it was supposed to be the most modern city in Slovakia. But the outcome of the project was a high-
rise development with 40,000 apartments housing 150,000 people. Following redevelopment in the 2000s, it is now a lively neighborhood of Bratislava
with an active sustainable development policy. The authorities have just signed an energy-performance contract (EPC) pertaining to the district’s
schools. Dalkia, which has been supplying Petržalka’s heat and hot water since 2000, was originally awarded the contract in 2003 and it has now been
renewed for 20 years. The project has led to energy savings of over 25%, with zero impact on the public budget. z

CANADA TAKE BACK THE LIGHT z Some 30 million fluorescent lamps are discarded by industry, business and institutions in Ontario every year.
A significant proportion of these lamps end up in the country's landfills. In addition to their metal and glass components, they contain mercury and
phosphorus, both of which are extremely harmful to the environment. In a bid to deal with this waste more effectively, the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment launched the "Take Back the Light" program in 2008, led by the Recycling Council of Ontario. This has led to a simple, cost-effective means

recycled five million lamps, preventing around 182 kg of mercury, 27 kg of phosphorus, 1.75 metric tons of glass and 22 kg of metal from entering the
environment. The Recycling Council of Ontario recently contracted Veolia North America to handle all recycling operations. z

SAUDI ARABIA SADARA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT z This is the newest—and largest—desalination plant to rise from the sands of Saudi Arabia. With a
capacity of 178,000 m3/day, beginning in 2015 it will serve a petrochemical complex of global scope—Sadara, built by US chemical giant Dow Chemical
and oil company Saudi Aramco in Jubail. The two partners will produce solvents and adhesives for the automotive and packaging industries. To meet
stringent environmental and water quality standards, the plant is developing seawater treatment technology combining ultrafiltration and reverse
osmosis. The combination of the two methods provides a reliable water supply, minimizes the risk of failure and extends the life of the facilities, while
reducing the site’s energy requirements and costs. Veolia, which designed the plant, has been selected to build and operate it. z

When more heat is being produced than is

When consumer demand exceeds production,
the energy accumulated in the tank is fed back

ing water – are essential to the operations, Veolia Water is
afforded no special status, on or off the pitch.
The EMAP: a winning solution
Originally contracted for 12 years of water services
in 2001, Veolia’s work with SK hynix has grown and
strengthened considerably over time. Within a couple
of years of operation, SK hynix – then simply Hynix –
recognized in Veolia a model outsourcing operation,
and in 2006 extended its contract by five years, prolong-
ing the service period from 2013 to 2018, for a total of 17
years. Contracts at other plants have been renewed, too,
most recently at the Cheongju plant for the expansion of
the ultrapure water facilities there, the eighth contract
signed between Veolia and SK hynix.
Together with Veolia Water and other suppliers,
SK hynix has adopted a modern stakeholder approach to
its sustainability priorities. Internal standards for waste-
water treatment, for example, already far exceed legal
requirements, a sustainable vision achieved through
trust and communication between the parties. “Our
