Climate change and environmental degradation are major threats to Europe and the world. To overcome these challenges, the European Green Deal seeks to improve the well-being and health of citizens and the environment by moving towards a circular economy, protecting our biodiversity and ecosystems, improving waste management, reducing air, water, soil pollution, and ensuring the sustainability of our blue economy and fisheries sectors.
At GAIKER, we perform ecotoxicity tests for environmental impact assessment. We develop New Approach Methodologies (NAM) based on in vitro models of freshwater, marine and terrestrial species for toxicity testing of chemicals and materials. We develop innovative, nature-based solutions to reduce environmental pollution.
Development of twelve new bio-based technologies to address the four most common soil and groundwater contaminants in Europe: heavy metals, mineral oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile aromatic hydrocarbons.

Transformar biorresiduos en enmiendas del suelo seguras y eficaces.
It aims to reduce amount of marine litter and microplastics from the most relevant European fishery contributors (demersal trawlers, demersal seiners and tropical tuna purse seiners) and introduce circular economy practices within the fishing sector's value chain, including ports, thus fostering behavioural change.
