Event details

Language:

Welcome to an exclusive premiere where the future of the circular economy takes shape.
For the first time, products derived from wastewater resources will be introduced to the Swedish market. This is not a pilot project. It is a commercial market launch and a tangible example of how Sweden’s and the EU’s circular ambitions under the Green Act Circularity agenda are becoming reality.

This milestone represents a fundamental shift in perspective, from viewing wastewater as a waste stream to recognizing it as a source of valuable resources, new business opportunities, and increased societal resilience.
Together with leading representatives from industry, the public sector, government agencies, and academia, we will explore how markets for circular products can be developed, how regulatory frameworks can enable innovation, and how the transformation of the water and wastewater sector can help address challenges related to energy, the environment, water security, and food supply.
