The industrial heavy metal pollution in rivers threatens biodiversity and also poses a danger to human life. The project developed as a solution aims to conduct sustainable river cleaning by combining nature's own cleansing mechanisms with engineering, resulting in a low-cost and low-maintenance approach.BioBall, developed at the Atılım University Pre-Incubation Center, became a finalist in four different competitions over a 12-month period. Its latest success came during Turkey Innovation Week, where it was awarded second place in the sustainability category with the participation of President Erdoğan. Additionally, meetings with major companies were held to find investors, and fieldwork and interviews were conducted.
