SESSION F09 / 16 ottobre 2025 / 09:00 - 10:30
Workshop: Solid and liquid waste and water management in new city quarters
Chair / Presidente: Rainer Stegmann (DE)
The continued development of Eco-Cities and Eco-Quarters is crucial for saving resources and mitigating climate change. This workshop will explore strategies for water conservation through wastewater reuse and the collection and use of rainwater. We will examine how organic household waste and black water (faeces) can be converted into reusable compost on-site. Where feasible, separately collected urine may also be utilized for the removal of Xenobiotics and the recovery of Phosphorus and Nitrogen. Water transportation methods, including gravity and vacuum systems, will be considered. In rural contexts, the use of phytotreatment systems will be discussed as a viable wastewater treatment option. Additionally, innovative approaches to the separate collection of plastics, paper, glass, and other waste types will be addressed—key components of sustainable waste management in Eco-Cities. Energy considerations and the integration of biotopes will also play a central role in the successful implementation of these measures. Introductory lectures:
