Veolia launches Data Center Resource 360 to cut water use by 75% in $5B market

Veolia has launched Data Center Resource 360, a global integrated offering designed to address environmental and operational challenges in the rapidly expanding data centre industry. The announcement was made in London. The global data centre market is projected to grow approximately 11% annually through 2034, but nearly half of planned facilities could face permitting delays due to concerns over water consumption, energy use and local resource constraints. The market for integrated data centre solutions is valued at around $5 billion annually by 2030. Veolia currently works with 10 leading global data centre operators across over 100 facilities. The company's offering aims to transform data centres into carbon-neutral, water-positive, circular hubs, achieving up to 20% energy reuse, 75% reduction in water footprint and 95% waste recycling and reuse.

Veolia acquires Australia's Enviropacific for $142M to strengthen PFAS treatment leadership

Veolia has acquired Enviropacific, an Australian soil remediation company, for approximately AUD 220 million to strengthen its PFAS treatment capabilities. The deal, subject to customary closing conditions, adds a company with roughly AUD 250 million in FY25 revenue and nearly 300 employees. The acquisition addresses growing demand for PFAS contamination treatment in Australia, where historical use of firefighting foam at defence sites, airports and industrial facilities has contaminated soil and groundwater. Veolia has operated in Australia's PFAS treatment market for over 20 years. The transaction advances Veolia's goal of reaching €1 billion in micropollutants treatment revenue by 2030. The acquisition combines Enviropacific's local remediation expertise with Veolia's global technologies, expected to drive revenue growth and operational synergies across water treatment, hazardous waste management and soil remediation services.
