>water is recycled A sweeping statement, like plastic is recycled. It is more complex than that. It is energy intensive (and expensive) to recycle both low purity and ultra pure water (UPW) used and for some fabs it is just 40% [1] and there is no consistent globally adopted solution, most of the tech used is still evolving and not implemented everywhere.
