At the beginning of 2021, we wrote a blog post about how the human right to access clean water and sanitation, which has been in force since 2010, is being implemented across the world. Where do we stand? What is the situation today?

Oleg is currently one of the best German pole vaulters. His greatest national success was winning the German championship in 2021 and his best international placings were 9th place at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and 5th place with a personal best at the 2022 World Championships in the USA. At Wasser 3.0, he is currently employed as a scientific assistant and will now also act as an ambassador for water without microplastics. But who is Oleg?

Washing synthetic textiles releases large amounts of microplastics into the environment every day worldwide. This is why France is introducing mandatory microplastic filters for new washing machines beginning in 2025. But just how effective are such filters? And is this the most effective approach moving forwards? This blog post covers how microplastics are formed during washing, which factors influence their formation, the reduction and prevention strategies which currently exist, and potential solutions.

Wastewater treatment plants are important point sources of microplastics and micropollutants into the environment. Many wastewater treatment plants will be required to upgrade their facilities with an advanced treatment step to remove micropollutants, but these processes do not target microplastic removal.
We therefore investigated the ability of two advanced treatment methods and our novel Wasser 3.0 PE-X® process to remove microplastics at the wastewater treatment plant in Landau, Germany. Read more about the key finding of our study, which was recently published open access in MDPI Water.

With pilot plants and rental systems for industrial and municipal (waste) water processes, we deliver effective solutions for water without microplastics together with innovative materials. We do this together with our plant manufacturer and current partner in mission – the Sondermaschinen Oschersleben GmbH.

Tire wear particles are communicated as one of the main sources of direct microplastic (Microplastics Type B) entry into the environment. But is this the truth? Fact is: Currently, no standardized analytical method for tire wear particles exists; only rough estimations can be made. The real extent is unknown. This blog discusses the issue of tire wear particles as a major microplastic source and the status quo regarding detection and regulations.

Responsible research for water without microplastics and micropollutants is our top priority. Maintaining high-quality standards in all areas of our daily research work plays an important role. The basis for ensuring these quality specifications is our own research laboratory and the laboratory equipment required for this purpose. We therefore obtain an extensive range of high-quality products from our partner Carl Roth GmbH + Co. KG from Karlsruhe. More about this in today's blog post.

In 2021, the Planet Hero Awards for innovative sustainability projects were presented for the first time by the Zurich Group Germany and we were also among the award winners. Now, almost 2 years of cooperative action with the Zurich Group Germany have passed. It’s time to learn more about this Partner in Mission – What has happened so far and what can happen in the future.
