Green Industry
The Green Technologies focus area emphasizes sustainable practices in membrane manufacturing and applications. This includes using eco-friendly raw materials such as green solvents and biodegradable or UV-degradable polymers for membranes and filtration devices. The aim is to reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional polymers used in the industry. Additionally, the focus extends to employing other green methods in membrane manufacturing. In terms of applications, the focus area explores environmentally friendly uses of membranes, such as carbon capture and the removal of harmful substances like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
