Urban utilities are in need to design resilient wastewater infrastructure to tackle the pressures of urban intensification, waterways pollution and climate change. This Hub aims to transform the wastewater industry with an unprecedented, city-scale circular economy of nutrients based on urine separation and processing at building level, to produce safe and effective liquid fertilisers. By engaging with stakeholders across the value chain, this Hub expects to bring two urine processing technologies to commercial readiness, and to produce new regulations and business models for the circular economy. This will add resilience to the wastewater and urban farming industries, and will create market opportunities for new Australian technologies.

城市公用事业需要设计有弹性的废水基础设施，以应对城市集约化、水道污染和气候变化的压力。该中心旨在通过前所未有的城市规模的营养循环经济来改造废水行业，该循环经济基于建筑水平的尿液分离和处理，以生产安全有效的液体肥料。通过与整个价值链的利益相关者合作，该中心希望将两种尿液处理技术推向商业化，并为循环经济制定新的法规和商业模式。这将增加废水处理和城市农业的适应能力，并将为澳大利亚新技术创造市场机会。
