Kayoko Shoji, Analyst at Washington CORE, recently contributed an article to a publication of the Japan Machinery Center for Trade and Investment (JMC) examining the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Reuse Action Plan 2.0 (WRAP 2.0). The article explores how recycled water is increasingly being recognized as critical infrastructure supporting AI, semiconductor manufacturing, energy production, and other water-intensive industries, rather than solely as an environmental initiative.
Drawing on recent U.S. policy developments, the article highlights the growing role of water reuse in strengthening industrial resilience, supporting economic growth, and addressing long-term water security challenges. It also considers what these trends may mean for Japanese companies and other global industries as demand for sustainable water resources continues to increase.
