Wasser 3.0

Wasser 3.0 stands for a completely new approach to remove micropollutants sustainably from our water.
With Wasser 3.0 PE X they have developed the first method to remove microplastics from the water without any additional complicated filter technology. By applying a non-toxic hybrid silica gel, they create table tennis ball sized balls that float on the water surface and are easily removed from there.
Water polluted with micropollutants is a highly complex system. Especially since all waters are not created equal!

Wasser 3.0 meets them with a maximum of interdisciplinary know-how, innovation, and idealism. As part of research projects, marketable solutions have been developed since 2012 to eliminate microplastics, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, hormones, X-ray contrast media, and other pollutants. The methods made by Wasser 3.0 can be flexibly applied wherever micro pollutants contaminate the water. They are cost-effective, sustainable and the result of our overriding concern: we want to improve water quality worldwide.

Since July 2019, Wasser 3.0 and its network partners have been successfully operating the first pilot plant at a wastewater treatment plant in Germany, which is able to remove microplastics from urban wastewater and sustainably protect the ecosystem.
