Waste Recycling (KA4020)
Main idea of the project "Waste Recycling" (Reaching congenial region through valorisation of municipal and industrial waste waters and sludge) is to develop environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient sludge treatment methods. Our aim is to manufacture clean and safe recycled fertilizer from municipal waste-water sludge.
Project news
