Podcast: ReUse - Use the wastewater

Many manufacturing companies use water in their processes. A lot of water. The podcast from the Danish Technological Institute and Viegand Maagøe is about finding solutions to recover and reuse process and wastewater from large Danish manufacturing companies.

About the ReUse project

ReUse is a project from MUDP – the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s pool for environmental technology development and demonstration projects.

The ReUse project is central to finding solutions to recover and reuse process and wastewater from large Danish manufacturing companies.

ReUse uses a completely new mapping method and innovative technologies to demonstrate how wastewater does not have to go to waste, but can constitute a valuable resource in Danish manufacturing companies. In the podcast we follow the project from start to finish.

Section 3 - CP Kelco: 1.5 million liters of water for recycling

In this episode, we visited the pectin factory CP Kelco in Lille Skensved to find out how much recycling potential ReUse has helped to realize in their water-intensive production. Hint: It's not that small. The savings potential is large, and the project is even only at demonstration level.

Episode 4 - Nopa Nordic: Fulfilling great potential

We are visiting Nopa Nordic in Hobro, which does everything within cleaning production. In their production there is great potential to reduce product waste, save water, and send cleaner wastewater away from the factory. It has been especially eye-opening for Nopa to map their production to find out where it could be optimized.
