DEEP PURPLE Film Screening: HOLY SHIT - CAN POOP SAVE THE WORLD?Join us for an enlightening evening as DEEP PURPLE (EU-Horizon2020 project) hosts the exclusive screening of the thought-provoking documentary film, HOLY SHIT: CAN POOP SAVE THE WORLD? In the presence of the movie director Rubén Abruña. After the screening we will discuss the possibilities of waste utilization and showcase some extraordinary products from waste developed within the DEEP PURPLE project. Secure your spot for an evening of insight, inspiration, and networking. Let's explore how even our waste can be a resource for positive change!

Ever wondered what happens to the food we digest after it leaves our bodies? Is it merely waste, or could it be a resource to be reused? Director Rubén Abruña takes us on a captivating journey across 16 cities on 4 continents, exploring the fascinating world of excreta. From the Parisian sewers to a massive wastewater treatment plant in Chicago, Abruña unravels the mysteries surrounding our waste. The film delves into the potential use of excreta as a fertilizer and the challenges posed by heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Can our waste be the key to solving fertilizer scarcity and promoting sustainability? Discover the answers as Abruña encounters the Poop Pirates in Uganda, explores dry toilets in Sweden, and witnesses localized treatment plants in Hamburg and Geneva. HOLY SHIT is a cinematic exploration that tackles issues of food security, environmental protection, hygiene, and climate change.

As part of the DEEP PURPLE project, we aim to recover valuable resources from mixed urban waste streams, including wastewater, sewage sludge, and organic municipal solid waste (OFMSW). Our concept revolves around a versatile, integrated, and flexible Multi-Platform Biorefinery, based on the metabolism of Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB). Through this innovative approach, we extract high added-value compounds such as cellulose and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) for bio-plastics, ectoine for skin care products, and bio-fertilizer in our demo sites in Spain and the Czech Republic.
