New Algae Lab: research focussed on resource recovery in the water cycle
Linear systems have led to the over exploration of our planet’s natural resources, so it is time to develop technologies that focus on circularity. The new ecotechnologies need to remove harmful pollutants from the water cycle, while recovering the elements needed to sustain the growing population within planetary borders. To achieve this, IHE Delft recently opened its Algae Lab. The aim: to find technological solutions to improve water quality availability and resources recovery.
