Four years, 13 sites, one principle: measure first, decide second. In REMEDIES 5.0 we deliver the microplastic data for Sylt, map the Danube together with schools and lead a work package. Here is what begins now.
We are growing – and looking for two colleagues for microplastic analytics and our test center in Landau, Germany. Lab, plants, research – in a non-profit team that makes water without microplastics real. Flexible time model. Apply now!
Along 450 river kilometres between Vidin and Silistra, the first standardised microplastic mapping of the Bulgarian Danube is taking shape. Wasser 3.0 and LessPlastic Bulgaria are measuring together with schools and volunteers.
Wachau, Vienna, Donau-Auen: 372 kilometres that everyone knows – and whose microplastic pollution nobody knows anything about. That is changing. As Kilometre Partner of DANUBE 2850, dm-drogerie markt is taking on the sponsorship of this stretch of the Danube.
Neisse, Neckar, Danube: For the first time, 369 samples reveal where microplastics are found in Europe's rivers. As part of the EU Mission Ocean, we are making every single measurement publicly available, turning data into hotspots, leverage points, and real solutions. Read more.
Van Remmen UV Technology takes on sponsorship of 100 Danube kilometres. The Dutch UV-C pioneer supports Europe’s first complete microplastics mapping – for clean, safe water across borders.
Polyamide, polyester, neoprene: During swimming, bathing, and diving, textiles release fibers directly into the water. Research from 2024-2026 shows for the first time how large the problem really is and where we need to start.
120 students, more than 80 water samples, one clear hotspot: The Microplastic Detectives pilot project in Mannheim is complete and is now scaling up. Become a sponsor and help carry this movement forward.
