RESRECOVERY - Study on the recovery of materials contained in wastewater
This techno-economic project explores the recovery of organic materials from wastewater before their destruction, for high-value use. It investigates technologies suitable for the Walloon context, considering municipal wastewater treatment systems, the local textile industry, and new valorization opportunities (bioplastics, cellulose, etc.).

The project is a techno-economic study aimed at identifying recoverable organic components in wastewater, such as cellulose and polymers, before their destruction through conventional, costly methods. The study examines technologies suited to the Walloon context, considering existing municipal wastewater treatment systems, the Walloon textile industry, and opportunities for the relocalization of industrial activities or the creation of new valorization pathways, such as bioplastics and cellulose. The goal is to develop more sustainable and high-value solutions for organic materials in wastewater, while seeking Walloon partners for the relevant identified pathways.
