The international desalination industry is being urged to address its growing reverse osmosis membrane waste problem and turn it into recycling and reuse opportunities. Membranes yet have the potential to be converted for lower grade use by charities for aid in developing nations, recycled as a carbon source in steelmaking, or combusted in waste treatment.
