Summary
Water is a vital element in the brewing industry, being present in all facets of its operation. This industry generates substantial wastewater quantities, requiring intensive and expensive treatment in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP). Vegetation Filters (VF) are a type of Nature-Based Solution (NBS) for wastewater treatment that offers a sustainable alternative to these WWTP. In this work, an innovative ‘Lab-to-field’ procedure including several trials at different scales was conducted to assess the applicability of VFs to the brewing industry, starting from trials under greenhouse conditions to a real scale pilot plantation under Mediterranean conditions (Spain). This represents the first attempt to assess the use of VF in the brewing industry. The occurring processes during the trials
