Helsingborg, Sweden

Helsingborg is one of the fastest-growing cities in Sweden. It is expected that in 15 years, the city will have attracted more than 40,000 new residents. To meet this, 1,000 new homes are already being built every year.
One of the first new urban districts is Oceanhamnen, part of the H+ project. The Oceanhamnen district will use a new innovative and sustainable wastewater treatment plant, RECO LAB. In the new houses and buildings, grey and black water will be collected and processed separately. Kitchens will also be equipped with a grinder for processing food waste.

Desah was commissioned to carry out the design, which focuses on recovering valuable raw materials such as fertilisers and biogas as well as heat recovery. 

Recolab is one of the demosites of Run4Life.
