The FOG
NETWORK
2026
Sewer Stewardship and Resource Recovery
12th - 13th May, London
MOVING THE
NEEDLE.
Facilitated by Eco Clarity and supported by Thames Water and Southern Water, the FOG Network brings the sector together to manage FOG properly, end to end.
By focusing on resource recovery as the end point, we move beyond trapping alone to deliver genuine prevention, stronger sewer networks and long-term environmental value.
An action-led forum designed to turn shared priorities into measurable results.
01
1. Beyond the trap
Grease traps remain a critical first step in protecting sewer networks. However, trapping alone does not guarantee prevention.
By connecting every link in the chain, FOG management can deliver both short-term network protection and long-term resilience.
02
2. Blockage reduction data
To demonstrate real progress, the sector needs clear, consistent and evidence-based measurement.
Defining the data required supports water company and environmental goals by evidencing FOG blockages and pollution.
03
3. Fully joined-up system
To prevent FOG falling through the cracks and returning to the sewer, resource recovery must be treated as the end point.
To close the loop, material must move into controlled recovery routes, strengthening transparency and end-to-end accountability.

SEWER STEWARDSHIP
IN ACTION.
This event is built around collective problem-solving, moving beyond high-level knowledge sharing into hands-on workshops. By bringing the whole community together, we aim to map the full FOG value chain and identify the challenges and enablers that move the industry forward.
It is an opportunity to contribute to a shared approach that turns operational challenges into measurable environmental outcomes.
