An important pilot installation to produce bioplastics from wastewater has been officially inaugurated by the Friesland Water Authority (Wetterskip Fryslân) in Leeuwarden.
Research has shown that it is possible to create value from wastewater by producing renewable resources such as bioplastics. The opportunity has led to a joint initiative of the Swedish company AnoxKaldnes (part of Veolia), KNN Bioplastic, the Province of Friesland and Friesland Water Authority, where bioplastics recovery is being tested at a pilot installation located at the wastewater plant in Leeuwarden.
Anoxkaldnes, KNN Bioplastic and the province of Friesland are working together towards a regional circular production chain of bioplastics. The province recently granted KNN Bioplastic a 100 000 EUR subsidy. The test facility at Friesland Water Authority moves the organisation one step closer to achieving their goal.
The Friesland Water Authority, in collaboration with the technology institute Wetsus, has been conducting applied research at the demonstration site arranged at the Leeuwarden wastewater treatment plant. The water board has been promoting the development of innovative and sustainable water purification vIa the demo site.
