In the Sustainable Water Sanitation, Wastes and Resources Recovery area we work in resource efficiency by ‘closing the loops’ through greater recycling and reuse, which is a cornerstone of sustainability policies where wastes and water are seen as resources. Our investigation includes advanced research on sustainable products for water treatment; optimisation of anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment systems; removal of emergent compounds and particles at micro and nano scales; and testing of new methods to assess the risks induced by wastewater discharge to surface waters, in particular of priority and emergent substances.
