Date: 18th February, 2025
Time: 12:30 pm
Location: Zoom webinar
We are delighted to welcome Luisa Orsini, CEO and Co-Founder of Daphne Water Solutions, to our Voices of the River webinar series! Join us on Zoom on Tuesday 18th February from 12:30-13:30.
In the previous episode we learned that forever chemicals are considered chemicals of emerging concern because they are ubiquitous and persistent in the environment, not only taking thousands of years to breakdown, but also posing significant health risks to humans. Did you know that over 80% of treated wastewater still contains harmful “forever chemicals” from households, industries, and agriculture? These pollutants, which evade conventional water treatment processes, end up in our rivers, lakes, and eventually make their way to our tables through food and drinking water.
In this episode we are joined by Luisa Orsini, CEO and Co-Founder of Water Daphne Solutions and Professor of Evolutionary Systems Biology and Environmental Omics, to learn how revolutionizing water treatment with a nature-based solution effectively removes forever and persistent chemicals – pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals – from wastewater. Their innovative technology not only meets current and upcoming regulations but also supports near net-zero water reuse goals, offering an affordable and sustainable approach. By harnessing the unique abilities of daphne, the have created a powerful, nature-based solution to clean our water both efficiently and sustainably.
