"Argor Heraeus & XNatura: environmental monitoring in the precious metals industry"
Project overview
The precious metals industry faces significant environmental challenges, finding a balance between production efficiency and the protection of local ecosystems. At the Argor Heraeus industrial site, located in Mendrisio, a scalable and data-driven approach to environmental monitoring has become necessary, with particular attention to pollinator populations in the area surrounding the plant.
Main phases of the project
Starting from 2024, Argor Heraeus has conducted a biodiversity assessment using Flora, a technology developed by XNatura in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Thanks to satellite images, an overview of the biodiversity potential of the Mendrisio site has been provided, identifying optimal areas for field monitoring and allowing for continuous observation of vegetative dynamics to detect ecosystem changes over time.
