In 2012, this sixth edition took place in Venlo and attracted no less than two million visitors. The central theme was one that is also in Desah's DNA: sustainability. In the utility building Villa Flora, a pioneering concept for circular energy and water flows was realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separate collection and decentralised treatment of wastewater was chosen for Villa Flora. Toilets on the site are connected to a vacuum system that ferments black wastewater together with organic waste. The remaining grey water - such as from sinks - is treated separately with a helophyte filter. This approach minimises water consumption and maximises resource reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-seashore-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desah developed an integrated water concept in line with the Cradle-to-Cradle principles of the Venlo region. Our contribution included a feasibility study together with a process and detailed design of the system. This eventually resulted in the delivery of the entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this approach, the system not only provides cleaner water but also energy and valuable nutrients back to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project at Floriade serves as inspiration for circular neighbourhood concepts, sustainable offices and recreational areas. With this case, Desah underlines how decentralised systems are a practical and scalable solution for sustainable water management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"
