Nature-based sludge-drying reed bed for circular wastewater and biowaste management
Abstract
This factsheet presents a nature-based Sludge Drying Reed Bed (SDRB) system for decentralized sewage sludge treatment and nutrient recovery. SDRB enables low-energy sludge stabilization and the production of humus-like material for agricultural reuse, supporting circular wastewater and biowaste management and climate-resilient farming.
