Mistra TerraClean

With a vision to address global sustainability challenges, the Mistra TerraClean program use naturally occurring and commercially important raw materials indigenous to Sweden, such as (nano)cellulose and mesoporous inorganic materials invented and developed in Sweden. The purpose is to develop smart materials for removal of chemical wastes and pollutants from ambient water and air in the environment and industrial effluents. Mistra TerraClean integrates strong research and innova-tion environments in the Stockholm-Uppsala region to a national hub capable to provide expertise required to set necessary momentum and advance smart materials sci-ence beyond the current state-of-the-art. The project use case studies as a tool to address cutting-edge research questions in direct collaboration with key stakeholders from industry and relevant organizations.
