Partnerships and networks to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Beyond the paradigm shift: Our understanding of UN Sustainability Goal no. 17

On our mission for water without microplastics and micropollutants, one thing is clear: we can't do anything alone, we need fellow campaigners!

Joint entrepreneurial action for the big goal of water without microplastics and micropollutants has many faces and creates completely new values beyond the monetary.

The diverse encounters with our "partners in mission" have opened up wonderful spaces that inspire us again and again and convince us that beyond the paradigm shift is exactly where we want to be. And where we can work most effectively for water without microplastics and micropollutants.

This is what our Partners in Mission do

Fortunately, they exist: Those who also locate themselves beyond the paradigm shift, those who are serious about the journey and those who are willing, within their means, to support our work for water without microplastics and micropollutants.

The gGmbH is a very suitable organizational form for our mission because it enables many kinds of cooperation and collaboration in the spirit of SDG 17 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

It then looks like this:

  • We receive laboratory or office equipment and working materials as donations or at discounted rates.
  • We start project cooperations on unresolved issues of water purification.
  • People contribute their expertise (as graphic designer, translator, strategy consultant or tech-nerd ...) - also as donation, on a voluntary basis or at reduced rates.
  • People, organizations, and companies support us financially with donations and sponsoring.

A special honour: Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label

To tackle environmental issues while enabling economic growth, Bertrand Piccard has launched a challenge through the Solar Impulse Foundation to recognise 1000 solutions that protect the environment in a profitable way and present them to decision-makers to accelerate implementation. The associated World Alliance network includes more than 3,000 start-ups, companies, investors and authorities who are working together to tackle the challenges of environmental protection.

Our Wasser 3.0 PE-X® process has been the proud holder of the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label since January 2021, making it one of these #1000SOLUTIONS.

WASoMI training platform launched

As an interdisciplinary team of experts on a mission for water without microplastics, it is our pleasure and concern to share our knowledge and make it accessible to the next generation in the simplest and most appealing way possible. The basis for FREIRÄUME is provided by the scientifically sound digital-real educational space WASoMI. Our chemists, environmental scientists and sustainability experts have contributed their knowledge to it. Thanks to the support of the Postcode Lottery participants, we were able to implement the FREIRÄUME project last year and take the wealth of knowledge about water without microplastics to the next level.

Microplastics in industrial wastewater

Steigende gesetzliche Regulationen für Polymere, Kunststoffe und Mikroplastik, hohe Kosten für Wasser, Abfälle, Energie, Chemikalien und die Instandhaltung von Anlagen sowie komplexe Verschmutzungsszenarien - Unternehmen, die in ihren Prozessen viel Wasser, Polymere und weitere Chemikalien einsetzen, stehen vor der Herausforderung ihr Umwelt-, Abfall- und Ressourcenmanagements neu auszurichten. Mit dem Verfahren Wasser 3.0 PE-X® steht erstmals eine adaptive Komplettlösung für ein nachhaltiges und kosteneffizientes Sustainability Upgrade für die industrielle Wasserbehandlung zur Verfügung. Der Schwerpunkt des Verfahrens, das auf Green Chemistry, low-tech Anlagen und kreislaufwirtschaftliche Prozesse setzt, liegt in der Entfernung von Mikroplastik. Bei geringen Anschaffungs- und Betriebskosten verbessern sich dabei nicht nur die Wasserqualität, sondern auch Ressourcennutzung, Abfallaufkommen und Energieverbrauch.
