About [Edit]
The video The Innovative Turn has been prepared by the partners of the project Zer0-M, funded by the European Union under the Euro-Mediterranean Regional Programme for Local Water Management. The Video was produced by Fön e.V.
Zer0-M aimed at concepts and technologies to achieve optimised close-loop usage of all water flows in small municipalities or settlements (e.g. tourism facilities) not connected to a central wastewater treatment - the Zero Outflow Municipality (Zer0-M).
Several sustainable water management (SWM) technologies are already available, which allow efficient wastewater treatment and re-use without hygienic risks on a low-cost and easy-to-handle level. These include sanitation systems with low water consumption, separate collection of grey and black water, biological treatment of grey water and reuse for non-drinking purposes (e.g. toilet flushing or irrigation), bio-membrane reactors for intensive treatment, constructed wetlands for extensive treatment, sludge hygienisation for re-use as soil conditioner, segregation of urine and use as fertiliser, use of dry toilets and composting of faecal matter. This video shows some examples of these techniques.
