News about Micropastics Detection

The detection of microplastics is of crucial importance when it comes to assessing the risk potential and the entry routes of microplastics into the environment. A standardized detection method is therefore essential to collect comparable and reliable data on microplastic pollution and to identify hotspots. This blog gives an overview of our current study and the most important results.

Unlock Potentials for Water without Microplastics

In the November 2022 issue of Smart Water Magazine we were able to summarize our opinion on the topic "Microplastics - global environmental problem - what now?". Our founder and managing director Dr. Katrin Schuhen wrote an article on this with a focus on unimagined potential for water without microplastics and micropollutants. Follow the link to the article.

EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive

The EU directive on urban wastewater (Council Directive 91/271/EEC) is decisive for the control and prevention of pollution. Although it has led to improvements in water quality across Europe since its introduction in 1991, a lot of pollution is still not restricted or regulated, e.g. Micropollutants and microplastics. Therefore, at the end of 2022, the EU published a proposal for a revised directive on the treatment of urban wastewater. More about this in the blog.

Partners in Mission: Nordic Water

With Nordic Water GmbH from Neuss, we were able to gain a strong cooperation partner for our pilot project at the Landau-Mörlheim sewage treatment plant, which supported us with technical components. You can find out in our blog how we approached the cooperation for water without microplastics and micropollutants and what results we were able to achieve.

Quadratisch Teaser Regulation - Mikroplastik

28. October 2022

The challenge of microplastic regulation

Progress has been made in many countries to restrict the use of microplastics. However, there is still no single comprehensive European law that restricts the intentional use of microplastics in products or regulates the unintentional release due to microplastics in wastewater and subsequent discharge into the environment. But effective legislation on microplastics is critical to reducing environmental impact. What is the current status?

(Micro-)plastics: Status of regulation and laws

Plastic production continues to increase and microplastics have been detected nearly everywhere on earth – from arctic snow to human blood – yet there is still no single comprehensive law that regulates microplastic input into the environment. The development of regulations is a slow and ongoing process; this article provides information on the current laws surrounding plastics and microplastics, alongside the associated challenges and chances.

Partner in Mission abcr

In this blog post we have the honour to present the partner in mission without whom Wasser 3.0 would not be Wasser 3.0. abcr GmbH has been by our side since our first attempts at water treatment with hybrid silica gels. In many projects we have been able to combine our know-how, our drive and our visions and open up completely new paths.
