Ceramic membranes manufactured from recycled locally-sourced materials could facilitate the cost-effective recycling of treated wastewater and help address water shortages.
Trials of the membranes developed through the EU-funded REMEB project, have demonstrated how municipal facilities can cost-effectively filter and recycle wastewater for a range of uses, including street cleaning and even agricultural irrigation. The innovation could also enable industries to recycle their own wastewater and in doing so cut costs and reduce their environmental footprint.
