Microplastics reuse & circular economy

Closing loops: New ways to reuse microplastics.

Waste, which includes microplastic agglomerates from our removal processes, are valuable materials. How these valuable remnants get back into value chains is part of our work in reuse.

Wasser 3.0 reuse ends linear action; treated waters and removed agglomerates are reused.

The key: circular economy solutions go hand in hand with resource conservation and environmental protection.

From the beginning of our feasibility studies and in the field of innovation transfer, we think about the end. This includes identifying reuse concepts for our microplastic removal products.

The waste products from Wasser 3.0 PE-X® become the basis for new products. Thermal incineration is the last option for us, if at all.

#detectremovereuse: Circular economy strategy for (waste-)water treatment.

Through our reuse processes (embedded in the fully sustainable process design), we reduce the need for fossil resources, reduce the carbon footprint, and combine the requirements of Zero Waste and Circular Economy.

We work with you to develop modular and adaptive solutions for water without microplastics and micropollutants. At the same time, we deliver savings in energy, CO2, water, waste, and operating and maintenance costs. Through the multidimensional approach of microplastic-free production, you will not only achieve measurable contributions to the achievement of the UN sustainability goals, but you will also address tomorrow's requirements and regulations –  today.

We see wastewater treatment as a value-added process.

The treated waters can either be reused as process water or discharged as wastewater free of microplastics or micropollutants. For each application of our removal technology there is an individual as well as tailor-made reuse concept, depending on the pollutant composition and water properties.

We act based on current and future legislation and legal requirements, solution-focused and with measurable impact.

Our blog about water without microplastics

We want to stop the uncontrolled pollution of our water with microplastics and micropollutants. In our blog posts, we describe step by step why it is high time to do so and how we want to achieve this. We focus on current information and always keep an eye on the latest opinions and curiosities.

Sustainable education and knowledge transfer

On the trail of the WHY.... The world is becoming ever more dynamic. The role and function of education and training (school, work, everyday life) is becoming increasingly important. The aim is to offer complexity-reducing transfer tasks and provide assistance in order to be able to argue and act on the basis of facts in the search for answers to pressing questions. This is all quite complex and requires some optimization and adaptation. A look behind the scenes of WASoMI.

World Water day 2024 in the plastic age

We've all heard of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. But what era are we actually living in today? Perhaps most likely the "plastic age", also known as the Anthropocene ("determined by man"). The age of the disposable society began with the introduction of polymers and plastics into everyday life. And with it came the great promise that cheap plastic products would eliminate the need for laborious cleaning and repairs as well as numerous costs, such as those for transport. And so it was, but unfortunately for far too long people forgot to consider what happens at the end of a product (disposal) or to produce, process, use, and recycle products in a circular manner and beyond internal processes.
