KWR in the news G.A. van den Berg - Turning wastewater into a resource - An EU initiative to create a Water-Smart Industrial Symbiosis

“A team of European researchers and engineers initiated the ULTIMATE project to turn wastewater into a resource. This initiative is co-financed by the European Commission and started in June 2020. The aim is to create economic value and increase sustainability by valorising resources within the water cycle.
Wastewater is not only a reusable resource but also a carrier for energy and components that can be extracted, treated, stored and reused. In the ambitious concept called “Water Smart Industrial Symbiosis” the consortium promotes recycling in various industrial settings. As a pilot the consortium has selected nine business cases from the international agro-food, petrochemical and biotech sector.”
