Achieving wider uptake of water-smart solutions

WIDER - UPTAKE

WIDER UPTAKE aims to facilitate industrial symbiosis as a mean to increase resource efficiency, limit emissions and develop sustainable water-smart solutions.

WIDER UPTAKE will apply a case study approach that will provide applied knowledge on operationalization of the solutions in a range of socio-economic, environmental and climatic condition.


WIDER-UPTAKE Ambition

WIDER UPTAKE will develop and implement new industrial symbioses based on water-smart solutions linking water and wastewater treatment, resource extraction, energy supply and product development for agriculture, building & manufacturing materials industries and energy supply.
