Next Milestone Achieved: The URBANFILTER Sustainability Hub

With the establishment of the URBANFILTER SUSTAINABILITY HUB, a big step is being taken towards practice. The aim of the HUB is to gain further experience from the use of the various prototypes of the URBANFILTER and to make it available to users, such as municipalities. With an open-source approach, this exchange platform promotes the dissemination and optimization of innovative filter solutions for road drains.
