On the 2nd of October, the INCLUE project was featured at the STOWA Slib Symposium 2025, where researchers and industry experts gathered to discuss the future of sludge (“slib” in Dutch) management in the Netherlands under the theme “Zijn we klaar voor 2050?” (“Are we ready for 2050?”).
Andrea Deiana (DC4) presented a pitch on his research, ensuring that the fate of emerging contaminants would not slib out of the talks.
Covering topics from sludge incineration capacity to the presence of contaminants of emerging concern, from dewatering to alternative uses of this waste stream, the symposium, organised by STOWA (Foundation for Applied Water Research), highlighted the need for innovation and collaboration to address the challenges of Dutch sludge management by 2050.
