The great clean-up
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
From tackling micropollutants in wastewater to removing plastic waste from rivers, here are five solutions based on ETH expertise.
Rethinking wastewater management
Research
ETH Zurich Eawag
Sewer systems and centralised treatment plants are not a sustainable solution for managing the world’s wastewater. Environmental engineers at ETH Zurich and Eawag have been helping to develop decentralised, closed-loop modular systems.
A contested resource
Research
ETH Zurich
The expansion of hydropower generation often leads to conflicts of interest, both in Switzerland and beyond. Researchers from ETH Zurich are trying to find a basis for compromise that serves the public interest.
A world in flux

ETH Zurich
Heavier rain, longer droughts, melting glaciers: climate change has a dramatic impact on the global water cycle.
Traces in the water
Research
ETH Zurich
How we are contaminating our waters with microplastics and a multitude of chemicals.
Climpact: Flying, Fondue and CO2
Teaching
EPFL
Everything we do has a carbon footprint but are our perceptions of the emissions we generate on a daily basis aligned with reality? To find out, two EPFL researchers have launched Climpact a new tool to help separate fact from fiction.
