Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Examples of Products Made from Wastewater

Course subject(s) 5 Resource Shortage

The next video was made by the Energy & Raw Materials Factory that was initiated by the Dutch Waterboards. In this initiative, waterboards want to use wastewater as a source of valuable resources like renewable energy, raw materials and clean water. Wastewater is no longer perceived as a waste but as a resource flow full of resources. As a result, wastewater treatment plants will become production factories and no longer be waste-treatment facilities. You will see a number of examples of products that can be made from wastewater. The website of the Energy & Raw Materials Factory contains more information about this initiative.

This video is property of the Energy & Raw Materials Factory, and we have used it with their permission. Hence there are no subtitles in the edX player and it is not downloadable. Its YouTube link is located below the video, where you also have access to subtitles. As the video is retrieved from YouTube it is not playable on the App, and might not be accessible in all countries.
