WFD - Clarity about wastewater

By the end of 2027 the Netherlands, and therefore also your SME company, must comply with the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Because clean and healthy water is essential for humans, animals, nature and for companies that use it as drinking, process or cooling water. The Maas is an indispensable source for this, but the quality of the Maas water is under pressure.

Meeting on water quality and indirect discharges

We cordially invite you to an inspiring afternoon on water quality and indirect discharges for SME's in the Meuse region. That afternoon you will get practical knowledge and concrete tools to get your SME company ready for the deadline on December 22, 2027.

This program is organized by the WFD Chemicals Business Action Program (VNO-NCW / LWV and MKB), the Meuse Program Agency, the Clean Meuse Water Chain and MKB-Nederland.

What will we discuss on November 6:

• Do you know what's in your wastewater?
• How do you keep processes and permits in order?
• What tools are there to avoid or reduce pollutants.
