According to a UN resolution, access to clean drinking water is a human right. But actual access to it is denied to many people around the world. To change this, the Munich-based social startup Cyfract <\/a>is now presenting its innovative water purification technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pollution, excessive consumption, and poor management are detrimental to the quality and availability of water, and especially in poorer countries, water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. Cyfract wants to change this. The startup's technology aims to develop an environmentally friendly and cost-effective form of Water purification <\/a>A special internal geometry, manufactured using 3D printing, creates specific flow conditions in a cleaning device under which suspended matter such as microplastics can be captured together with higher-density particles and removed from the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proof of effectiveness has been provided<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A team of scientists, engineers, and students from Munich University of Applied Sciences has been researching the concept for six years now and has demonstrated its effectiveness in experimental trials. The time is right to bring the technology to the public, as the co-founder Tayyar Bayrakci<\/strong> finds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"For quite some time, even the scientific community reacted to our idea with some disbelief. Now we have scientifically proven it, and we want to implement our project as quickly as possible where it is most urgently needed, namely in water-scarce regions threatened by desertification."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
