Litoclean honors World Soil Day by developing sustainable techniques

The company’s Research, Development and Innovation department is focused on the evolution towards more environmentally friendly processes.

Soil and water, source of life’ is the motto with which the United Nations is celebrating this year’s World Soil Day, which is held every December 5. The aim of this day is to raise public awareness of the importance of our soils to achieve sustainable ecosystems and combat climate change.

Improving the health of soils and associated waters is the main goal we have been pursuing at Litoclean for 25 years, which is why the celebration of this day takes on special importance in our organization.

To combat soil degradation and protect this resource, it is essential to study new methodologies that eliminate different types of contaminants in the most sustainable way possible, i.e., considering the impacts they may have from an environmental, social and economic perspective. Litoclean’s R&D&I department has been working in this line for years, developing innovative projects based on bioremediation techniques and cutting-edge technologies for decontamination and recovery of resources such as soil and water.

Marçal Bosch, director of Litoclean Iberia, highlights the team’s ability to innovate processes: “In addition to investing in new techniques, we also use tools that already exist on the market and rethink them in a new way to improve remediation systems and thus achieve objectives that we would not otherwise be able to achieve.

To reinforce this commitment to innovation, we are part of research and scientific dissemination groups, such as the ITRC, and international pilot projects, such as Phy2Climate. “These collaborations allow us to be at the forefront of the sector by having the opportunity to study new methodologies for soil and water recovery and to be part of leading projects of international caliber in which there is multidisciplinary collaboration,” Bosch explains.

In 2023, we also inaugurated the new Litoclean Research Center (CIL), a space dedicated to the study and testing of new water remediation and recovery methodologies that allow us to expand the range of solutions needed in the sector. An example of the materialization of a culture based on continuous improvement and commitment to innovation, preserving soil and water, sources of life.
