The Phytoremediation Monograph: A Science-Backed Report on Sustainable In-Situ Remediation

We're proud to announce the launch of the Phytoremediation Report – a comprehensive, science-based resource dedicated to sustainable in-situ remediation technologies for contaminated sites. Developed through a collaborative effort involving IMPEL, COMMON FORUM, NICOLE, EIONET (European Environment Agency), and Envit, who was part of the expert team that contributed to the report, this publication brings together cutting-edge research, practical case studies, and insights to support greener, more effective approaches to soil and water remediation.

The Phytoremediation monograph - a science-backed deep dive report into sustainable in-situ remediation solutions for contaminated site was launched last week.

This project was done in a special collaboration between IMPEL Network, COMMON FORUM, NICOLE, and EIONET (European Environment Agency), and it’s been a team effort from start to finish.

Would like to extend sincere thanks to Marco Falconi for inviting the Envit Ltd. team to contribute to this important voluntary collaboration. It has been a privilege to be part of such a valuable initiative & team of experts.

A special thanks also goes to Frank Swartjes for his excellent coordination and clear, consistent communication throughout the preparation of the report. His leadership was instrumental in bringing everything together smoothly.

The monograph features a chapter on remediation trains, showcasing the Envit Ltd. ReSoil® case study. This approach combines a physico-chemical method with phytomanagement to remove toxic metals, metalloids, and organic pollutants from contaminated soils. Phytomanagement uses soil-plant systems to manage pollutant flow and improve soil health. The ReSoil® process preserves soil properties, and the addition of organic substrates boosts microbial activity, enhancing pollutant biodegradation.

This report brings together science, practical know-how, and shared experiences - all with the aim of making these greener solutions more accessible and more widely used.
