3M Investing +$170M In Cordova Pursuing Goal To Reduce Use of Water – $MMM $DIA

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Reportedly, 3M (MMM) is investing more than $170 million at its Cordova, Illinois, site to engineer and install cutting-edge technology building its company-wide goal of enhancing the quality of water returned to the environment.

Launched in 2021, the company expects to reduce overall water use at the Cordova site by 25 percent and also return higher-quality water to the environment after it is used in manufacturing operations. The newly-installed technology designed specifically for the site featuring a combination of granular activated carbon, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and other methods will go online and enhance already existing systems in place. 

“These local investments in our operations will help sustain our environmental and manufacturing performance into the future, allowing us continued opportunities to contribute to the economic success of the Quad Cities and the entire region. The technology we’re adding to our site here in Cordova gets us closer to achieving our $1 billion, 20-year environmental goals for our company, which include improved water quality, reduced water and plastic use, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050,” stated David Andrews, site leader at 3M Cordova.

The post-it maker plans to install state-of-the-art water treatment processes at certain locations worldwide by 2024, which will drive a more than 95 percent reduction in 3M’s PFAS discharges globally by 2025, close to more than 99 percent by 2030.
