At K+S, we believe that sustainability has great value. And we believe in the ambition, the wealth of ideas and the wisdom of the many. As a responsible member of society, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint. For us, this also means minimizing the salt wastewater from our tailings piles. We have been very committed to this topic for a long time. Maybe we already have the best solution.
But what if not?
We invite researchers, start-ups, institutes and all people who are driven by great inventiveness to participate in our brine challenge with their proposals. Share our challenge. Shape more sustainable solutions.
