A look back at the Water Projects Europe event about industrial water circularity
Industrial water use accounts for nearly half of all withdrawals in Europe, putting pressure on water and energy systems. In the context of the European Green Deal, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, The Water Resilience Strategy, and mounting scarcity, shifting from linear “use-treat-discharge” practices toward reuse, resource recovery and digital optimisation is no longer only a technical challenge but a policy and market imperative.
In collaboration with A.SPIRE under the Processes4Planet (P4P) partnership, on June 25, 2025, the RESURGENCE project organised the first Water Projects Europe (WPE) event of the three sister projects: RESURGENCE, R3EVOLUTION, and CORNERSTONE. The session explored the increasingly critical topic of circularity in industrial water use – an issue made urgent by climate-driven water scarcity, rising industrial demand, and tightening regulatory pressures across the EU. A total of 105 participants registered for the webinar, with 13 viewers following the live stream on YouTube and 476 viewers on LinkedIn.
