Making Impact with Wastewater

Tilburg, The Netherlands / online

22 March 2022 - 22 March 2022

Biobased products from sewage... we have proven it is possible! Over the last 4 years the Interreg North-West Europe project team WOW! has started a transition where we re-use raw materials in sewage. We are happy to invite you to our hybrid conference on the 22nd of March in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

This day is all about sharing our amazing results with you but we will also look forward. How can we create more impact on this topic? And what can you do to contribute to a circular and biobased future? As well as the experts of the WOW! project we have invited inspiring speakers from a range of projects and organisations that are also looking into re-use of raw materials from sewage. Our special guest of this day will make sure you have something to think about on your way home.

The registration is closed. You can join the event online with this link.
