Harnessing nature's power to clean our soil.
The mining industry contaminates about 15 billion tonnes of soil with metal pollution annually. RemePhy harnesses the symbiotic relationship between bacteria and plants to provide a sustainable solution, allowing polluted land to be repurposed for agriculture, housing, and rewilding. Their technology optimises a naturally occurring soil bacterium to help plants more effectively accumulates heavy metal contaminants. Harvesting the plants allows the metal to be extracted and the biomass to be recycled, in line with a circular economy model.
RemePhy's patented method improves this 'phytoremediatio process, making it up to 15x more efficient than traditional approaches.
