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.

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.

Our technical center team focuses on industrial wastewater from laboratory scale to real applications. We work hand in hand to ensure clean water and functioning processes - quickly and efficiently.

Increasing legal regulations for polymers, plastics and microplastics, high costs for water, waste, energy, chemicals, and plant maintenance, as well as complex pollution scenarios - companies that use a lot of water, polymers and other chemicals in their processes are facing the challenge of realigning their environmental, waste and resource management. Wasser 3.0 PE-X® is an adaptive and complete solution for a sustainable and cost-efficient sustainability upgrade for industrial water treatment. Read our blog to find out how it works.

Auf dem Rad, beim Laufen, beim Fußball, oder als Begleiter für unterwegs. Die Kunststoffflasche ist vom Sport und aus unserem Alltag kaum wegzudenken. Fast auf jeden Foto von Athlet:innen, nicht nur Olympia, Weltmeisterschaften, sondern auch bei Jedermannrennen, im Fitnessstudio oder am Strand zu finden, ist das Versorgungsmedium unseres Körper mit Elektrolyten und Flüssigkeit. Auch mit anderen Schadstoffen? Vergleichende Daten zum Thema Mikroplastik fehlen bisher. Wir haben uns dem Thema angenommen, dass so von Marketingseite vieler Unternehmen gepushed wird und klären auf.
