SUMMARY:From principle to payer: the EU's "polluter-pays 2.0" revolution 
 in water and infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The "Polluter-Pays Principle" is no longer just a theoretical
  concept. It has become a strict financial liability. With the recent ad
 option of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD)\, the EU has 
 introduced a mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. Th
 is groundbreaking regulation shifts the cost of water treatment from tax
 payers to specific industries\, requiring pharmaceutical and cosmetic pr
 oducers to cover at least 80% of the costs for micro-pollutant removal. 
 This panel explores how this regulatory shockwave redefines infrastructu
 re funding\, corporate liability and investment models in a resource-con
 strained world.\n
