Where's the actual link to a quote from the WEF about "consuming human faeces"?
I can seen numerous articles about using human waste as fertiliser, power sources, converting to clean water, etc - nothing about eating it.
Can you provide a link?

That's not evidence it's actually safe. That's something a website developer was told to put on a government site.
Most of the wastewater treatment parameters and the effluent contaminants used to determine those parameters were created before people were being prescribed hormones as a routine part of the healthcare. It was before people started consuming industrial waste products and myriad pesticides as part of their food supply. In some cases the data is from before I was born.
Nobody wants to know how their cash cows are poisoning the population, so if the population doesn't ask nobody will.
If NGOs put their money into beneficial things instead of astroturfing social media, buying politicians, and funding civil unrest, we may not be in the situation we are.

Is is it just me or has ATS become a dumping ground for articles of interest without source information to give a reference to the members here at ATS for further investigation and analysis?

That seems to be the case and I will admit that I have jumped the gun with this one and that is part of the problem. Having come to this conclusion earlier, I put up the thread without being sure it had a verified source for their claims. My bad and I will be more vigilant in the future and at the very least warn the reader of the dubious information upon the first post.

That site is from a company that builds the systems used on the treatment plants or creates their projects .

That's not the case of Portugal and other EU countries, the regulations are relatively recent, and industrial waste is separated from domestic waste.
Nobody wants to know how their cash cows are poisoning the population, so if the population doesn't ask nobody will.
That's one of the things NGOs do, they keep a close look onto those things.
If NGOs put their money into beneficial things instead of astroturfing social media, buying politicians, and funding civil unrest, we may not be in the situation we are.
I see this is another aspect that is different in Portugal and, I suppose, most of the EU.

It says they’re going to use the sewage for what I assume is fertilizer.
You do know sewage water is already cleaned and reused for most municipal waters right?

So we will still get everyone's prescription meds in a bathtub mix of drugs, you cant filter that out

They may not be able to filter out the chemicals, but if they know which are the ones they need to remove they can use other chemicals to neutralise those.

Ok, that's a massive stretch and to be honest, that happens all the time anway. The OP made it sound more of a direct, 'bum-to-mouth' scenario.

And what's wrong with someone in Singapore unilaterally deciding to used cleaned sewage water to make a craft beer?
If someone wants to do it themselves, all the more power.
Problem is when the environmental elites declare the rest of us will be eating poo-fed bugs while exempting themselves.
