WEENTECH Water Technology and Waste Forum

The WEENTECH Water Technology & Waste Management Forum addresses one of the most critical aspects of environmental preservation: the circular economy of water and waste. As urban populations grow and climate change impacts water security, the need for innovative management strategies has never been higher. This forum, held in Coventry, gathers international experts to discuss the technological and policy-driven solutions required to safeguard our most precious resources.

The event is structured around three core pillars: advanced wastewater treatment, circular waste economies, and urban flood resilience. Highlights include deep dives into membrane bioreactor technology, nutrient recovery from sewage, and the conversion of organic waste into bio-energy. A dedicated segment of the forum will focus on the "Internet of Water," showcasing how IoT sensors can be deployed across city infrastructures to detect leaks and monitor water quality in real-time. This technological focus is complemented by discussions on the legislative frameworks governing waste in the UK and Europe, providing attendees with a holistic view of the industry.

Networking is a cornerstone of the WEENTECH Forum. Designed as a "Meeting of Minds," the event includes structured networking sessions where municipal planners can meet with technology providers to discuss specific regional challenges. For researchers, the forum offers a platform to present findings on microplastic filtration and the chemical upcycling of complex plastics. By fostering an environment of open innovation, WEENTECH aims to accelerate the transition from linear "take-make-dispose" models to a truly circular economy. Attendees will gain actionable knowledge on how to implement sustainable water and waste practices that are both ecologically sound and economically viable.
