On January 30th, we are organizing a day focused on technologies and challenges in sludge treatment at IRTA Torre Marimon (Caldes de Montbui), promoted by the Bioresidues subgroup within the New Valorization Pathways Working Group.
The event will be an opportunity to learn about the regulations associated with this type of waste, analyze the latest innovations and technologies being developed by the four technology centers partnered with CREC to valorize them, explore real-world cases from companies, and participate in a networking session to exchange knowledge and identify solutions for sludge treatment.
