RESANAT

In RESANAT, seven small and large companies from the Netherlands and Flanders work together with the Deltares knowledge institution and the Public Waste Agency of Flanders (OVAM) to stimulate the redevelopment of contaminated locations in the Netherlands and Flanders. Conventional remediation and management techniques are costly, energy-intensive, long-term and often require a lot of groundwater.
RESANAT will focus on innovation in nature-based remediation techniques, in which plants, microorganisms, natural materials, and wind and solar energy are used to control residual pollution. Thousands of locations in Flanders and the Netherlands that are still struggling with (residual) pollution could, thanks to these innovative techniques, become sustainable again in the long term.
