Strengthen sustainability through collaboration
Welcome to the Resource Recovery expert group, your center for knowledge and innovation in water for industrial processes within the food, beverage, and chemical industries. As a leading association, we bring together experts to promote sustainable solutions that optimize water use in production processes, helping businesses become more resilient to drought, water scarcity, and evolving regulations.
“Working together on water, building a sustainable future together.”
Share expertise, increase impact
Our expert group focuses on several key areas, one of which is reducing the use of source and drinking water in the chemical sector and the food and beverage industry. We specifically analyze production sites and serve as the (knowledge) bridge between wastewater streams and water-demanding processes. Our stakeholders include chemical and food producers, production technology suppliers, water providers, and research institutions. We leverage our broad expertise in areas ranging from alternative water sources to asset management, and from retaining substances of concern to salt (chemical) recovery.
Workshops and information sessions
We regularly organize workshops and information sessions that are not only aimed at our direct partners but are also open to collaborations with other associations. These events provide an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange and networking, which are essential for integrating the latest water technologies and strategies.
Collaborating with industry peers
The Resource Recovery expert group invites other associations active in the food and chemical sectors to collaborate on projects focused on water optimization while maintaining production efficiency. By joining forces, we can create a greater impact and work together towards a more sustainable future.
