  • Water reuse is a key option to increase water resources in a scenario of water scarcity.

  • There is an inherent responsibility of Portugal and Spain R&D to promote cleaner and more cost-efficient technologies for cork production and aquatic environments.

Main goal

The main goal of E-CORK is to develop an optimized electrochemical treatment line for the depuration and reutilization of cork washing/bleaching wastewaters taking advantage of the hydrogen peroxide contained in the main effluents, attending not only to the treatment performance, but also to its technical, economic and environmental feasibility.

This project has received funding from the European Commission under the programme MSCA-IF-EF-ST / Horizon 2020 and under grant agreement No 101029302.
