“I used to associate wastewater with ‘destroying’ and ‘removing’ instead of ‘creating’ or ‘generating’,” Dr Cokro tells readers. In their commentary for the paper’s ScienceTalk section, Dr Cokro relates the transformative uses of wastewater and sewage sludge to pressing real-life issues, ranging from addressing water scarcity by way of upcycled wastewater, being a surveillance tool for early detection of COVID-19, to its potential of being a renewable source of energy.

Check out the concise commentary on the powers and potential of wastewater. Remember, every plop counts!
