A wastewater treatment plant is redesigned as an ‘infinite mine’, from which the residues are used for a structural composite. The goal of the project was to make a construction material of uniform and consistent biomass waste streams, giving an impulse to reindustrializing Parkstad Limburg, former coal mining area in the south of the...
