Amkor Technology’s $2 billion semiconductor facility in Peoria, Arizona, isn’t just about creating jobs and strengthening America’s chip manufacturing capabilities—it’s about doing so responsibly in one of the nation’s most water-conscious regions. In this comprehensive webinar, Senior Vice President David McCann reveals the extensive water conservation and treatment strategies that will make Amkor’s facility a model of environmental stewardship in the Southwest.

The presentation unveils fascinating details about Amkor’s innovative approach to water management, including their commitment to using primarily reclaimed wastewater, implementing closed-loop systems for future conservation advances and achieving discharge levels that are cleaner than required, with key contaminants limited to less than 40% of Peoria’s regulatory limits. David also addresses cutting-edge concerns, such as PFAS elimination and outlines Amkor’s ambitious sustainability goals, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 20% reduction in water usage by 2030.

For anyone interested in how modern semiconductor manufacturing can coexist with water conservation in arid climates, this webinar provides an insider’s look at the technology and commitments shaping the future of responsible chip production.
