CLOSING THE LOOP OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER


With the recent UN-backed report warning of the rising levels of toxic brine as desalination plants meet growing water needs, the Circular Economy approach to recover resources from industrial wastewater is more important than ever.

In the past year, ZERO BRINE took big steps towards redesigning the supply chain of water and minerals. With the first of the pilot plants in operation, the innovative approach of ZERO BRINE has seen international coverage in online and print media. In January, ZERO BRINE’s launch of its Online Brine Platform also made waves in various international press outlets and resources, while the project was also presented at numerous conferences throughout Europe to industry, end-users, policy-makers, and academia.

Online Brine Platform

The ZERO BRINE Online Brine Platform developed by NTUA was launched in November 2018 with the aim to connect brine owners with mineral and water users and technology providers to promote the reuse of secondary raw materials and water.
