WINSTON ~ Reynolds American Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of the BAT Group, has announced that one of its operating companies has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources to construct a water reclamation plant on-site at the Reynolds Operations Center in Tobaccoville, N.C. The WaterHub installation is projected to reclaim more than 60 million gallons of water a year, equivalent to the annual water supply of approximately 550 average U.S. households, reducing Reynolds' environmental footprint and contributing to the BAT Group's Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) goals.

Bernd Meyer, executive vice president of operations at the Reynolds organization said: "We are so proud to embark on the WaterHub project with NextEra Energy Resources at our flagship operations center in the U.S. This project is not only a first for Reynolds, but for the entire global BAT Group and is an important step toward reaching Reynolds' water stewardship targets for 2025."

The WaterHub installation includes plans to break ground on the project in Tobaccoville in the fall of 2023 and is forecasted to be finalized and fully operational by the end of 2024. It will capture a combined wastewater stream from the plant, treat it to North Carolina reclaim water standards, and then reintroduce it as intake water for factory utilities, reducing potable water use at the facility.

Matt Ulman, vice president of Distributed Generation for NextEra Energy Resources said: "The WaterHub at the Reynolds Operations Center represents a significant step forward in environmental sustainability, demonstrating both NextEra Energy Resources' and Reynolds' commitment to promoting responsible water stewardship." He added that by implementing advanced water reclamation technologies they are able to help Reynolds reduce its dependence on potable water for factory utility operations and lower its overall environmental footprint.

The project complements the BAT Group's work towards using water efficiently across its global operations facilities; In 2022, The Reynolds Operations Center became one of 17 BAT Group facilities certified by Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) and 250 organizations worldwide have earned this respected designation as of 2022 with additional facilities currently undergoing certification process.
