Boyer Lab Members Featured in Video: Peecycling: The #1 Solution

ASU students Claire Cleveland, Jenna Miller, Garr Punnett, and Grace Clark filmed and edited a sustainability documentary titled Peecycling: The #1 Solution, in which members of the Boyer Lab describe various strands of research that involve pharmaceutical removal and resource recovery from an abundant resource: urine. Transforming nutrient use from a destructive linear flow into a sustainable cycle, or “peecycle,” can result in a sustainable source of fertilizers to replace chemical fertilizers and prevent eutrophication of lakes and other water bodies. The video also highlights the importance of outreach and education to change the public’s perspective about harvesting resources from urine.
