What does "measured, not promised" actually mean on this site?

Every result labelled measured was read by an independent party, not self-reported -- for example the 99.5 to 99.6% microplastic removal at Marina Izola, measured by consortium laboratories under REMEDIES. Results still in progress are labelled as targets, and the two are never presented as if they were the same thing.

Is the petition connected to a Clera product or service?

No. Line C is explicitly advocacy, not a product line. It exists because the water at Marina Izola already meets every legal standard and still cannot be reused, since Slovenia has not adopted the national implementing rules the EU's water-reuse regulation requires -- a gap in the law, not something engineering can fix.

Line C · advocacy, not a product line

Part of this is not a technical problem. It is a law that was never written.

At Marina Izola the water meets every standard and is thrown away. Regulation (EU) 2020/741 applies directly, but Slovenia has not adopted the national implementing rules it needs — permits and risk-management plans — so there is no route to a reuse permit. A region short of water loses it every day.

Business

We build technology that can be commercially deployed — on-site H₂O₂, water treatment, monitoring.

Advocacy

This page is different: an environmental and system problem that technology alone cannot solve.

We are asking to be monitored, not to be exempted.

Three barriers, not one

Industry knows one standard of water: drinking water

Equipment, machines and the warranties on them are built around drinking water, even where the process does not need drinking water at all. There is no category for water that is fit for the purpose it is used for — so water that would do the job has nothing it can be called.

There is no route to a reuse permit

Regulation (EU) 2020/741 applies directly, but the national implementing rules it depends on — permits and risk-management plans — have not been adopted. Water that meets every standard still has no legal path back into use.

Continuous public oversight of discharges is not provided for

Continuous sensing shows how much of the water leaving a site is actually fit to be used again. The same measurement would also show what is going out unnoticed. Continuous public monitoring of discharges into public waters is not provided for in law, so the measurement that would settle both questions is never taken.

What the petition asks for

National implementing rules for Regulation (EU) 2020/741, a category for water fit for its purpose, and continuous public monitoring of discharges into public waters. We document the case at Marina Izola, collect signatures, and take it to the ministry together with the coastal municipalities.
