Feasibility studies and innovation transfer
(Waste)water treatment in the field of microplastics raises questions for which there are (still) no (simple and quick) answers.
Feasibility studies and in-house testing with our rental model plants are therefore a useful first step to address open and future clean water challenges.
Our goals are stable, resource-efficient, and low-tech based processes with a positive impact on both people and the environment.
These answers are provided by a feasibility study or in-house tests.
In addition to the technical feasibility, other aspects of the project’s success are scrutinized. These include:
- What goals do you want to achieve?
- Which legal signposts must be observed?
- Which stakeholders need to be involved?
- Which UN Sustainable Development Goals will the project address and what contribution will it make?
- What ESG impact will be achieved with the implementation?
- Which resources (financial, human, and material) are required?
A feasibility study or in-house tests provide you with the necessary data and facts to make decisions: Practical and within a short time.

Microplastics are a pervasive environmental pollutant affecting wildlife, ecosystem, and human health. Microplastics can be consumed at all trophic levels and transmitted along the food chain, resulting in numerous long-term detrimental impacts on wildlife and ecosystems across the world. The amount of research investigating such impacts has been increasing over the years. We have gone through recent, state of the art research that has been done on microplastic impacts on wildlife in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems, and summarize some of the main points in this blog.
(Micro)plastic pollution is a complex global issue, affecting ecosystems, wildlife, and human health around the world. Understanding the inputs and fluxes of microplastic pollution across environmental compartments and ecosystems provides a critical foundation for effective policymaking and environmental management. By taking action against (micro)plastic pollution and transitioning towards a more sustainable and circular economy, numerous potentials and advantages can be identified, including measurable contributions towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Under the auspices of the EU Green Week, the Water Innovation Europe Awards 2024 were presented on the first day of Water Innovation Europe 2024. At the ceremony with more than 260 participants, five innovators and their groundbreaking solutions in the water sector were the center of attention. And we were right in the middle of it all!

One of the main sources of direct microplastic entry into the environment is through the wearing and washing of synthetic textiles. This accounts for approximately 35% of the microplastics entering the global marine environment every year, amounting to between 200,000 and 500,000 tonnes. There are multiple pathways and options to target the unintentional release of microplastics from textiles, from the design through to the use and disposal, that must be considered. The European Commission has identified the textile value chain as a key priority in the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and proposed key actions and measures that are set to be finalized by the end of this year. This blog will provide an overview of issues related to the synthetic textiles, the proposed pathways to target unintentional microplastic release, along with the associated challenges that must be addressed.
