🏗️The first pilot plant has been installed at the @upc.edu Campus Nord sports center, where BEEC’s potential for large-scale greywater treatment is being tested. This project was possible thanks to an award from the Barcelona City Council for innovative water-saving solutions in sports environments.

🧪 BEEC is created by combining natural mineral materials, producing a composite that allows ion exchange and wastewater filtration. This technology can treat water from showers in sports facilities, making it safe to reuse for non-potable purposes, reducing overall water consumption 💦.

✨ Our team has developed a 3D printed bone scaffold that: ✔️ Is strong and flexible during surgery, making it easier for surgeons to handle. ✔️ Self-hardens after implantation, reaching bone-like strength. ✔️ Promotes natural bone regeneration while reducing inflammation.

💡 Imagine a bone implant that is flexible during surgery – easy to handle, adapt, and fix – and then hardens naturally once inside the body to provide strong, bone-like support. That’s what researchers from the BBT group have achieved in a new study published in #AdvancedFunctionalMaterials.
