Abstract

The textile and food industries are two sectors whose water consumption generates a significant environmental footprint. The production of industries must be focused on sustainability if the organizations for these sectors are improved. Therefore, it is necessary to focus the analysis on the sustainable alternatives applied in the supply chain by applying circular strategies. This chapter presents water use and its water footprint in the industries above. In addition, some strategies applied to improve water footprint levels—which involve water consumption and pollution—through circular strategies are presented. Finally, some trends and external and internal factors that can determine the successful implementation of a sustainable supply chain are presented.
