Builds a platform to detect, monitor and reduce pollutants like microplastics and PFAS in food and drink production.

Context

Food and drink factories can release pollutants such as microplastics and forever chemicals (PFAS) that are hard to detect and manage. EmerGO develops sensors and AI models to spot these pollutants early, and tests treatment methods to remove them, aiming to cut pollution significantly across the sector.

Main objectives

1) Map pollutant emissions in meat, juice and confectionery production. 2) Develop real-time sensors and AI monitoring tools. 3) Demonstrate treatment solutions at three industrial sites. 4) Feed results into updated best-practice guidelines and EU policy.

Main results

This project has only just begun. We will update the content as soon as results become available.
