Dr. Katrin Schuhen stands with her team at Wasser 3.0 (www.wasserdreinull.com) for a completely new approach to remove micropollutants sustainably from our water. Waters contaminated with micropollutants are highly complex systems. Wasser 3.0 meets them with a maximum of interdisciplinary expertise, 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 micropollutants contaminate the water. The solutions are cost-effective, sustainable and the result of the overriding concern: improving water quality and protecting the ecosystem worldwide. Since July 2019, the team of Wasser 3.0 have been successfully operating the first pilot plant at a wastewater treatment plant in Germany, which is able to remove microplastics from urban wastewater. Kathi Schuhen left the field of polymer chemistry after her PhD and several years of work in this industry only to re-enter it a short time later – with a radically changed perspective and a vision to clean our water from microplastics and other micropollutants. Since then, she has been on a mission to develop solutions that enable industry or wastewater treatment plants to eliminate micropollutants from the water before they enter our ecosystems and bodies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Plastic is a material that the Earth cannot digest. Plastic pollution is growing at an alarming rate, and plastic debris is accumulating fast in all communities, rivers, in the desert and in the ocean. Disposable plastics are the greatest source of plastic pollution. REFUSE disposable plastic, starting today. Visit the Plastic Pollution Coalition here.
