Results for action: Setting the framework for increasing circularity in wastewater treatment

The action will seek to identify opportunities for the optimization of water reuse and thus ensure that the water sector ties in with the EU’s principle for a circular economy. The successful achievement of this goal will tie in well with Malta’s vision for the development of a resource efficient and sustainable water sector. This action, by identifying key opportunities, will therefore seek to establish links between different operational frameworks that focus on; the recovery of water resources; the recovery of water and energy hence adopting a nexus approach and; broadening the circularity context to incorporate the recovery of nutrients from wastewater. These operational frameworks will also assess how the identified new treatment technologies can be adapted and applied in the development of wastewater treatment and reuse solutions in Malta.
