1. 1 LIFE PROJECT Local recycling of wastewater and organic household waste Hammarö Municipality 2003 - 2007

2. 2 A project implemented through financial assistance from founds of LIFE Environment demonstration projects

3. 3 OBJECTIVES Demonstrate an ecologically sustainable method for recycling of wastewater and organic waste Evaluate biological technologies Transform organic fractions to usable resources Increase environmental awareness Spreading knowledge and support the Sixth Environment Action program Ecological Waste Water Treatment Organic Waste Treatment Nutrients Recovery A project implemented through financial assistance from founds of LIFE Environment demonstration projects

4. 4 ACTIONS & MEANS 1 Build high efficient biological wastewater treatment plants Build wetlands as final purification step of the wastewater Integrate wastewater treatment with process for recovery of nutrients in produced sludge and organic waste Install waste mills in households Use wastewater piping for transport of organic household waste Organize collecting system for organic waste Ecological Waste Water Treatment Organic Waste Treatment Nutrients Recovery A project implemented through financial assistance from founds of LIFE Environment demonstration projects

5. 5 ACTIONS & MEANS 2 Build ECO-park in connection to the treatment plant Inform and engage citizens to active co-operation Scientific evaluation of the project and technologies Recording and dissemination Ecological Waste Water Treatment Organic Waste Treatment Nutrients Recovery A project implemented through financial assistance from founds of LIFE Environment demonstration projects
