The European Drinking Water Directive is a legislative instrument that aims to protect public health ๐ฉโโ๏ธ.
It also aims to harmonize water analyses, do you want to know how? Swipe! ๐

Hi all! We hope you enjoyed the holidays โ We're also back and, that means, new post!
Today, we share with you the poster our colleagues from Swansea University, Matthew Tarnowski and Eva Sonnenschein, prepared for the conference Syntetic Biology UK 2023 ๐.
Microplastics are everywhere in the news ๐ฉ
But how do we sudy them without going crazy? ๐คช
We classify them! Like books in your shelf (don't tell me you don't classify your books ๐, we're scientists, we're obsessively tidy ๐ ).
Here you can see how ๐
๐งEver wondered why microplastics are also found in presence that humans cannot reach?
Then hang on with us and swipe through the slides to find the answer ๐
Hope all of you are enjoying the summer!
๐ง How microplastics end up in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)?
Ever wondered what's being done by the EU on the regulatory level? ๐
Actually, we're in a moment in which all the information is being gathered by the institutions with the goal of cutting plastic production and controlling its fate during the entire lifecycle โป
Here, we've made a list for you to have a general idea of the directives and conventions where microplastics are already included. Hope you find it useful! ๐ค ๐

BMRex project contributes to the European Green Deal, as well directly addresses these 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals:
๐ Good health and well-being, key to life on Earth.
๐ง Clean water and sanitation
๐๏ธ Sustainable cities and communities.
๐ฌ๏ธ Climate action, by developing technology adapted to new sustainable regulations and goals.
๐ก๐ Life below water and life on land, by providing clean water.
What is membrane technology? ๐ค
It is aimed at reducing impurities and contaminant load in water by filtering it through different membranes of decreasing pore size. ๐

๐ฎ Witness how nanofibre membranes are created!
๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฌ Dan Zhao (DTU) shows us how this process converts polymers into nanofibre membranes that can be used for water treatment. ๐ฆ
Productive day in our meeting on MNPs analysis! โ
Excited about trying new methods and validate our results. Thanks to the team for their dedication and expertise! ๐
Meet the Repsol Technology Lab team behind the BMRex project!
๐At Repsol Technology Lab, we're proud to be part of the BMRex consortium, working alongside experts from various fields to develop cutting-edge solutions for industrial water treatment.
Happy Friday everyone! ๐ Today, we're presenting our partners from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. Swipe through the pictures to see how they're working towards a more sustainable future.
Hi! Hereโs one of the many techniques that allow us to identify the polymeric composition of microplastics.
๐ง What are enzymes and what do they have to do with MNPs degradation?
Meet the BMRex team here at #INMA (CSIC-UNIZAR) working on novel biocatalytic membrane concepts for MNPs pollutant removal .
Good morning everyone โ๏ธ Today weโre sharing with you our official leaflet, so you can have an easy overview of our project. Let us know what you think or if you have some questions.
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), coordinator of BMRex project, published a Science4Policy report which analyzes MPs in environmental health and addresses .
Today is another special day, because today we had hashtag#BMRexProject PSC meeting. It was a nice opportunity to meet with colleagues and exchange ideas on how to tackle hashtag#Microplastics as water pollutants. Looking forward to implement the decisions reached during the meeting and improving the results to achieve the goals of this challenging project.
Hi Insta community! We invite you to follow our quest to develop new technologies for micro- and nanoplastic remediation ๐๐ฆ
