EMPEREST project

The EMPEREST project aims at eliminating micropollutants from wastewater effluent to unlock the opportunities for safe reuse strategies. The project supports local authorities, service providers and policy-making community by strengthening the sustainable water management cycle. The holistic approach to the elimination of PFAS and other persistent organic pollutants incorporates regional strategies for monitoring and assessment, technological advances in wastewater treatment, and risk management assessment for cities. The project EMPEREST co-financed by Interreg Baltic Sea Region helps drive the transition to a green and resilient Baltic Sea region.
