MIMIC

Microplastic pollution represents an escalating global challenge, with profound implications for biodiversity, water ecosystems, and industries reliant on clean water. Traditional solutions for monitoring and remediation are costly, labour-intensive, and inefficient, creating a pressing need for innovative, scalable technologies. Eden Tech, a French deep-tech company, presents a groundbreaking approach integrating SCOUT, a rapid automated microplastic analysis system, and ASCANDRA, a versatile microplastic sampling and remediation solution. SCOUT addresses the critical need for microplastic monitoring by combining Near-Infrared spectroscopy with advanced AI. Delivering actionable insights on polymer types, particle sizes, and contamination levels within 10 minutes, SCOUT eliminates the need for complex, expensive laboratory methods, making microplastic analysis accessible and cost-effective. Its user-friendly, automated design empowers stakeholders across industries and regulatory bodies to detect and quantify microplastics with unprecedented speed and precision. ASCANDRA complements SCOUT by serving as a highly efficient microplastic sampling system for analysis or as a deployment-ready remediation solution where removal is necessary. Leveraging biomimetic microfluidic technology, ASCANDRA achieves unparalleled efficiency in isolating microplastics while operating at ultra-low energy consumption (20 Wh/m). Its modular, stackable design ensures adaptability across diverse applications, from stormwater systems to large-scale river catchments. Together, SCOUT and ASCANDRA offer an end-to-end solution for monitoring, analysis, and targeted remediation, directly addressing regulatory demands under newest 2024 European Drinking Water and Urban Wastewater directives. By addressing this critical gap, Eden Techs solutions empower industries and authorities to safeguard ecosystems, protect public health, and contribute to a cleaner, sustainable future.
