# Living filtering materials

Contract manufacturing (CMO/CDMO/toll) — Living filtering materials use a living organism, biofilm or biological molecule as the active filtration element — instead of inert media such as sand, activated carbon and synthetic membranes. Approaches range from worm-and-microbial-community biofilters to aquaporin-protein membranes and electroactive biofilms. Contract capacity manufactures biofiltration modules and carriers to project specification.
