Projects of the Institute for Ecopreneurship

Our highlights

  • Minimising combined sewer overflow

    Michael Thomann’s team is using online sensors and modelling to exploit existing wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure.

  • In the mix

    Thomas Gross and his project team is combining biochar and compost to rehabilitate degraded soils.

  • How well do industrial companies know their wastewaters?

    A tool developed by Miriam Langer’s team is helping industry better answer this question.

  • Let the sun shine in

    Markus Lenz's team is ensuring sustainability of new photovoltaic materials.

  • A systemic approach to safe water

    Maryna Peter and her project team are preventing disease through handwashing technology, behavioural science, effective management and long-term relationships.

  • 500°C and potassium Methods

    Sewage sludge produced during waste water purification contains not only biomass and pollutants but also precipitated phosphorus.

  • Tailor-made membranes

    Multi-layer membrane helps recover 90% of the phosphorous from acid waste solutions.

  • Treasures in production waste

    Researchers at the School of Life Sciences FHNW (HLS) have developed a process for recovering the rare earth metal scandium from acidic industrial wastewater by means of filtration.

  • A water filter for emergencies

    Clean drinking water is a luxury.
