Overview of our educational projects on water without microplastics

With our educational work we want to close knowledge gaps so we can take more effective action against microplastic pollution of our water . The goal in all our activities is: WASser without MIcroplastics WASoMI (which appropriately means scholar in the African language Kiswahili).

The aim is both to communicate knowledge about microplastics and to prepare the content in such a way to understand the relevance to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In doing so, we rely on developing digital possibilities, which are increasingly being used in schools. We are still a very young company (founded in 2020), so our educational work is currently possible thanks to the support and encouragement of our sponsors and donors.

We finance our educational projects through donations and sponsorship. And we are always on the lookout for active, impact-accelerating financial support. Does this sound exciting to you? Then become part of the solution.

We are further expanding our communication and education work with the book “Rebellin des Wassers (Rebel of Water)”. Katrin Schuhen provides direct, everyday, solution-oriented insights into effective action for clean water (without microplastics). The book will be available in bookstores on October 10.

With FREIRÄUME we create an interactive and scalable exercise platform around microplastics. We develop this together with teachers and students of the Integrated Comprehensive School Mannheim for the use in MINT+Environmental subjects. We create innovative, (out-of-)school formats with individual and group exercises, (self-)assessment of learning status and progress, feedback modules, and learning paths.

The digital-real educational space WASoMI (WASser ohne MIkroplastik) provides facts, background information, and contexts on the topics of polymers, plastics, plastics, and microplastics. The overriding question is: How did the many useful everyday helpers made of plastics become a global environmental problem – microplastics? And about how we can prevent this in the future.

In the development of bookED, pupils, teachers, university lecturers, and those studying to become teacherswere equally involved in a unique project. The project created digital teaching/learning media on the topic of the water cycle.

NUT Caching describes a new form of interdisciplinary knowledge transfer that combines the subjects of natural sciences, environmental sciences, and technology. In our lighthouse project on wastewater treatment, we have put together interactive content and course sequences.

‘Rebel of the water’ in stores from October

More and more droughts, more and more pollution, more and more corrupt exploitation. Our water is more endangered than we realise. There is bad news wherever you look. But in between there is a glimmer of hope – an encouragement. A new non-fiction book ‘Rebellin des Wassers’ will be published in October and is the first book by Dr Katrin Schuhen, Managing Director of Wasser 3.0. Together with Scorpio Verlag, we venture into the book, which has so many exciting things in store.

Microplastic Analytics: EU plans are not enough

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 WWTPs with >10,000 p.e. The question remains – is this sufficient? The answer: NO! How do we know this?

Microplastic removal saves water, energy, and costs

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.
