Description
Wastewater reuse is a key strategy to ensure sustainable water use, contributing to the conservation of water resources and reducing the environmental impact of wastewater discharge. In this sense, the implementation of a circular economy approach to wastewater management can generate significant social, economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, it is necessary for Peru to propose a commitment to strengthen strategies to encourage wastewater reuse in a circular economy approach, encouraging innovation and the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices in wastewater management. In this way, new business and employment opportunities can be created, dependence on natural resources can be reduced, wastewater management costs can be lowered, and sustainable development goals related to sustainable water management and aquatic ecosystems can be achieved.
Institutionalization of circular economy approach policies, together with direct contribution to the improvement of the environment.
