Water Europe welcomes the conclusion of the European Commission to update the Sewage Sludge Directive aligning it with the Green Deal and the digitalisation of Europe to address today’s challenges. A well-designed revised Directive must be cohesive and coherent with the EU’s current sustainability objectives, and particularly with the Circular Economy Action Plan, the Zero-Pollution, the Pharmaceutical and Farm2Fork strategies. Therefore, Water Europe suggests a holistic management of sewage treatment to achieve the objectives outlined in this paper.
