The revised Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (voted by the Parliament in April 2024 and voted and approved by the European Council in November 2024), includes:
- Phosphorus reuse & recycling targets, to be defined within 3 years from Directive publication
- Tighter P and N discharge limits
- Extended producer responsibility (producer coverage of costs) for quaternary removal of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
- Energy neutrality
ESPP is organised a one day workshop on "The new EU requirements of the revised Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for phosphorus removal and recycling: interactions between tighter discharge consents, chemical P-removal coagulants, processes for P-recovery", on the 13th March 2025, within Aquatech, Amsterdam RAI + online (the world’s largest professional event on water, with 20 000 participants).
