As shown in Chapter 4, manufacturing is the sector where decoupling is the most prominent, and this is reflected in all EU regions. To ensure the continuity of this trend and its replication in other economic activities, it is crucial to learn from these developments. Specifically, in the case of the industrial sector, sharing data on investments in water saving technologies would be fundamental both from the water and the resource efficiency policy perspectives. Improvements in efficiency stemming from implementations at the company-level should be more transparently documented to promote technology/knowledge transfer and cross-fertilization. This requires an adequate reporting architecture that centralizes the knowledge while protecting the strategic interests of private enterprises. Any progress made here could open pathways to increase transparency in other sectors like agriculture, mining and quarrying and establish a benchmark for concrete, integrated action towards systemic change.
