With the support of around 30 pupils and committed interested parties, the Alb River near Karlsruhe was sampled for microplastics at the beginning of March. The results are now available.
Today's blog post is all about our new scientific findings on water without microplastics and why transparent communication that is suitable for everyday use is so important to us.
Wasser 3.0 gGmbH and the Bildungszentrum für die Ver- und Entsorgungswirtschaft gGmbH (BEW) are joining forces. The new teaching/learning program is aimed at anyone interested in learning more about microplastics. It starts in March.
We have won. At the MERLIN INNOVATION AWARD, we impressed the water specialists on the jury at various levels with our responsible, sensible solutions - a strategy for everyone that is also 100% transformative and innovative.
If we understand things, we can make a difference. And this is exactly where Maike takes the plunge. You can find out who Maike is and how she wants to achieve this at Wasser 3.0 in the latest blog post.
The Planet Hero Award is the flagship of Zurich Germany. Wasser 3.0 was among the award winners in 2021 and since then, they have been making a measurable impact for more water without microplastics. We look back at what we have achieved in recent years and look to the future.
With the help of start-up funding from the E.ON Climate Fund of the E.ON Foundation, we are getting started with our educational project WASoMI Lab. We are creating an indoor and outdoor learning space for water without microplastics. That's what it's all about.
On June 26 and 27, 2025, the second Open House of Wasser 3.0 gGmbH will take place at the EW Landau wastewater treatment plant. Registration is now open. There are only a limited number of places. It pays to be quick.
With the revised EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) will finally be required to monitor microplastic levels – but only twice per year for those serving > 150,000 population equivalents (p.e.) and only once per year for smaller WWTPs. The question remains – is this sufficient? The answer: NO! How do we know this?
