Local wastewater treatment plants and their role in the circular economy

Daniel Tokushev

Abstract

The realization that we are highly dependent on the increasingly limited water resources and the opportunity offered by the circular economy for the reversibility of this important resource become a matter of personal and societal growth. The use of wastewater treatment plants has been proven to bring with it positives for both the environment and water, as well as for human health. The introduction of local waste water treatment plants in small agglomerations is the nowadays step towards a better and ecological environment, and in addition it leads to financial savings achieved by the low subsequent costs.
