BOOST-IN partners have recently contributed to a thought-provoking article published by Zanichelli — one of Italy’s most respected science and education publishers — exploring how lessons from space can guide our approach to water on Earth.

The piece draws a striking parallel between the International Space Station (ISS), where over 86% of water is recovered and reused, and our planet, where water scarcity is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge.

Through this perspective, the article underscores the need for a circular approach to water management, aligning perfectly with the BOOST-IN project’s mission to promote technological innovation, policy reform, and citizen engagement in water reuse and efficiency.

BOOST-IN’s pilot projects across Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Greece, and Bulgaria demonstrate how decentralized systems and community-driven Water Circular Economy Solutions (WACES) can help Europe close the loop — ensuring that no drop goes to waste.

By rethinking how we use, recover, and value water, BOOST-IN contributes to building a more resilient and sustainable Europe.
