This session focuses on real-world experiences with implementing resource recovery technologies in (waste)water treatment. End-users from utilities, waterboards, and industry will share how they moved from concept to operation, highlighting key challenges in investment decisions, technology integration, and market development for recovered resources. The discussion will provide insights into what works in practice, what doesn’t, and how to build robust value chains that ensure long-term viability of recovered products. By learning directly from those who have taken the step toward implementation, the session aims to support others in navigating the transition from innovation to full-scale application.
