Responsible Products & Value Chains
From Ecosystems to Products
Overview
We work with researchers, educational institutions, governments, non-profit organisations, and responsible businesses seeking to strengthen environmental stewardship through science-based approaches.
Flagship project
DrinkAble
Chlorine-free safe drinking water
Unsafe water still spreads disease, and many disinfection systems rely on chlorine and other chemicals that can leave harmful by-products. WHO states that at least 1.7 billion people use a drinking-water source contaminated with faeces, and microbiologically contaminated drinking water can transmit diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. A safer, chemical-free way to disinfect water is needed, especially for aged pipe systems, or decentralized use.
