At Greensoil's lab in Genk, we’re testing an innovative approach to tackle heavy metal contamination using phytoremediation. In collaboration with Intrinsyx Environmental, we are exploring how specialized endophytic bacteria can enhance metal uptake in plants, potentially revolutionizing soil remediation.
The Experiment:
Why This Matters:
While traditional hyperaccumulator plants can absorb heavy metals, they often grow slowly and struggle outside their natural habitat. Intrinsyx’s endophytes change the game—they enable fast-growing, local plants to extract contaminants more efficiently, significantly reducing remediation time.
This collaboration exemplifies nature-based innovation, demonstrating how In-Situ techniques vary widely and can be effectively combined to complement one another. This synergy enhances the efficiency, scalability, and sustainability of remediation projects.
