"Argor Heraeus & XNatura: environmental monitoring in the precious metals industry"
Project overview
The precious metals industry faces significant environmental challenges, balancing production efficiency with the protection of local ecosystems. At the Argor Heraeus industrial site in Mendrisio, a scalable, data-driven approach to environmental monitoring was needed, with a focus on pollinator populations in the area surrounding the plant.
Main phases of the project
Starting in 2024, Argor Heraeus conducted a biodiversity assessment using Flora, a technology developed by XNatura in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Using satellite imagery, an overview of the biodiversity potential of the Mendrisio site was provided, identifying optimal areas for field monitoring and enabling continuous observation of vegetation dynamics to detect ecosystem changes over time.
