AcceliCITY City Solution of the Year is cleaning our water.
These days, the increasing contamination of harmful pharmaceutical waste into water supplies has become one of the highest priority issues for cities, which face the daunting task of supplying safe drinking water to hundreds and millions of people. While the common conception is that wastewater treatment plants take care of this issue, in reality pharmaceuticals pass right through water treatment and go on to cause great harm to the environment and those whose drinking water has been contaminated. Listen to Christian Ryen explain how Pharem, a bold Swedish startup that recently won the AcceliCITY City Solution of the Year award, has developed a solution that not just rids our water of pharmaceuticals but does so in a completely natural and passive way.
