The water authorities are putting great effort into creating a sustainable society and join hands with municipalities to develop wastewater processes. The water authorities view wastewater as a source of clean water, energy and raw materials. Besides, sustainability and cost efficiency go hand in hand, offering an abundance of business opportunities. The Unie van Waterschappen (Dutch Water Authorities) have asked PurPur to help them develop a unique conference, entitled ‘De Weg van het Water’ (The Journey of Water), at which water authorities, municipalities and the business community convened, aiming to take the next step towards a sustainable society.

During this conference the Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu (Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment) and other parties involved signed the Green Deal Grondstoffenfabriek (Energy & Raw Material Factory). In addition, Ed Nijpels, chairman of the Standing Committee officially accepted the comprehensive juridical compendium written by Berenschot.
