Removal of microplastics, PVA and PFAS from wastewater

Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of microplastics and pollutants such as PFAS/PVA. Together with Van Remmen UV Technology we are developing innovative solutions for the future of clean water in the EU project UPSTREAM. Find out more in our blog.

Standardized microplastic sampling and detection

Collecting microplastic samples at a municipal wastewater treatment plant and monitoring microplastic levels over the long term poses major challenges for both wastewater treatment plant operators and microplastic analysts. For municipal wastewater treatment plants, the question of how much wastewater needs to be analyzed to make a representative statement about contamination is also coming into focus and is reason enough to take a closer look at this topic.

Textile materials and microplastic release

Textiles made from synthetic fibers can release microplastics both when washed and worn. This knowledge is not new. What drove us in our study was the question of how many microplastics different basic fiber materials release and how recycled fibers perform in comparison. Our current cycling jersey comparison provides exciting and groundbreaking answers.
