Life RECYCLO will bring an innovative wastewater recycling solution to market. The 3 laundry partners are showcased in this project and demonstrate the efficiency and necessity of the RECYLO process in the laundry sector.
Life RECYCLO's project objectives
Reduction of water consumption
• To recycle at least 50% to 80% of wastewater produced by laundries into their washing process.
• To demonstrate that water regenerated by the RECYCLO process can be recycled in laundry activities.
Emitting zero pollution
• To eliminate more than 90% of emerging pollutants from laundry effluents currently observed: Phthalates, PAHs, AOX, PFOS…
• To allow total disinfection of wastewater.
• To valorize 100% of sludge produced by RECYCLO process in low environmental impact routes.
Developing an economically reliable and eco-friendly process
• To make water reuse accessible to small and medium laundries.
• To task the RECYCLO technology from TRL 5 to 7.
• To reduce laundries’ water bills by 30%.
• To promote the local economy by using local suppliers.
• To get ETV label.
Anticipating European regulations on reuse and micropollutant discharge
• To prepare market uptake of this process.
• To develop a mobile skid to replicate effluent recycling on other industrial sectors.
• To test the removal efficiency on other emerging pollutants.
Promoting good water management practices
• To create contents to support decision making of industrials and policymakers.
• To raise awareness to the public and industry through 3 documentaries.
• To disseminate results to different stakeholders in other sectors.
• To establish a network around this project.
