Lausanne, Switzerland - 16 April 2024: When developing new drugs, nutritional products, or pesticides, it's critical that unknown molecules are identified correctly.

NPHarvest has raised €2.2M for its nutrient catcher that recycles nutrients from wastewater. Geopolitical instability and increasing prevalence of extreme climate have put the spotlight on food insecurity and supply chain instability over the past five years. With this in mind, the NPHarvest's treatment equipment separates and collects all excess nutrients from concentrated wastewaters, which can then be recycled and made into fertiliser to reduce wasting valuable nutrients.
