Chemical waste from industrial processes can jeopardise biodiversity and human health. However, current methods of eliminating pollution are expensive and shift the problem instead of solving it – for example, by incinerating the waste. Estelle Clerc, a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, wants to change this with her start-up CellX: she tracks down bacteria in remote waters such as the deep sea that have the ability to break down specific pollutants such as microplastics, pharmaceuticals or pesticides. These specialised bacterial strains can be cultivated in large quantities in the laboratory and will one day be marketed for the targeted degradation of environmental pollution. The new technology is not only cost-effective, efficient and sustainable, it could also be used to upcycle pollutants and waste products in the future.
