The progress and preliminary results of Ecorkwaste project have been present at the conference "EU seminar: Smart and sustainable cities, lessons learned and opportunities within H2020", which was held in Padova (Italy).

Ecorkwaste was represented by researcher Joana Castellar, who also represented UNESCO Chair of Sustainability and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPQ) of Brazil.

The preliminary results of Ecorkwaste project pilot treatment wetlands have been presented at the VII International Symposium on Wetland Pollutant Dynamics and Control, held in Montana (USA).

One of the goals of the congress was promoting the transfer of technological knowledge. Under this framework, there was a presentation of Ecorkwaste pilot wetland for wastewater treatment from the wine industry and the preliminary results of removal of water contaminants by means of cork as a filtering medium in experimental wetlands, highlighting that the material used in both systems is a by-product of other industrial activities. 

The 4th followup meeting of Ecorkwaste project was held at the headquarters of the Catalan Wine Cluster INNOVI. The meeting was attended by all partners of the project: CTM Foundation, Institut Català del Suro, TYPSA Group, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and INNOVI.

The meeting focus was to assess the first preliminary results of the starting operations both int the gasification plant and the wetland built at Codorníu facilities in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia.
