Valuable Raw Materials
Water authorities in the Netherlands no longer regard wastewater as merely a by-product to be treated and processed, but as a valuable source of renewable energy, raw materials and clean water.
This approach is appropriate to the wider societal transition to a circular economy. IN order to contribute to this transition, the water authorities have set up a collaborative network organization called Energy & Raw Materials Factory (Energie- & Grondstoffenfabriek).
The raw materials that can be recovered from wastewater include phosphate, kaumera (alginate-like), cellulose and bioplatics (PHA).
