Researchers from MIT, Georgia Tech, MIT Center for Bits + Atoms, and Harvard Medical School have found that yeast from beer brewing by-products can be used in hydrogels as an affordable filter to remove lead from water. 'Reuse Brew,' a beer made from sewage water, is being produced in Germany as a sustainable solution for beer-making, with creators emphasizing its safety and taste.
Malt, hops, yeast and... sewage. A German company is using purified waste water to brew beer. 🍻 https://t.co/3BZmWQMQrG
The creators of ‘Reuse Brew,’ a beer made from sewage water, say the drink is safe, tastes good and its purpose is to show the possibilities of modern water treatment – and how water can be used sustainably https://t.co/M6IbPLaDEa
Would you give this beer a try after finding out it's made of sewage water? This is the Reuse Brew, a beer engineered in Germany and made from wastewater. Its brewers say the drink is perfectly safe, tastes good and offers a sustainable solution to beer-making https://t.co/17J4zioVUH
In @RSC_Sus, researchers from @MITChemE, @GeorgiaTech, MIT Center for Bits + Atoms, and @harvardmed show that yeast—obtained as a byproduct of beer brewing—can be encapsulated in hydrogels + used as an effective, low-cost filter to remove lead from water. https://t.co/nxYqMlc6DP
This beer-making by-product could offer a sustainable way to isolate metals for recycling electronic waste. https://t.co/LiyGu0o8Vk
