On this page you find an overview of the documentation that has been generated within the framework of the Run4Life project. This includes general information about the project and the concept of resource recovery from source-separated domestic wastewaters. For example, publicity materials such as brochures and posters, but also specific project results that have been presented and published can be found. Furthermore, the public deliverables are added here, most of these will become available at the end of the project.
