Circeaulair receives Blue Deal subsidy

In February 2022, the Flemish Government issued a call for projects to encourage the reuse of water by companies. Currently, much of the treated wastewater ends up in watercourses and just flows away. Hence, the Flemish Government offered 11 million euros in subsidies to companies who aim to change this. The investment is part of the Blue Deal, a programme that was launched by the Flemish Government in the fight against water scarcity and drought. The programme comprises over 70 different actions and 400 projects.

Circeaulair is also one of the selected investment projects and has managed to obtain a subsidy of 2.6 million euros within the context of the “Blue Deal Circular Water wastewater treatment plants effluent reuse”.

This initiative fits within the programme of the Flemish Environment Agency that is part of the Blue Deal. The Blue Deal is a programme that was launched by the Flemish Government in the fight against water scarcity and drought. The programme comprises over 70 different actions and 400 projects. With the Blue Deal, Flanders is taking the path of less paving, more rewetting and maximum circular water use.
