Background
Water scarcity, climate change, and increasing demand from industry and food production are creating a growing need to use water resources more efficiently. At the same time, large volumes of process water contain resources that could potentially be recovered and reused instead of being discharged.
Unity4Water develops solutions for the safe and efficient reuse of process water in applications ranging from smaller cultivation systems to large industrial processes. The project combines water treatment, resource recovery, automation, digitalisation, and new business models to enable a more circular approach to water management.
By bringing together universities, research institutes, technology companies, and actors from agriculture and industry, the project aims to demonstrate how recycled water can become a valuable resource rather than a waste stream.
