"Lemna, operated by a trio of ASU alumni, including Andren as CEO, utilizes a technique called phytoremediation, where living plants are introduced to polluted soil, air, or water to rid them of contaminants via a highly productive aquatic plant called Lemnaceae — Lemna's namesake. Popularly known as duckweed, these vibrant green leaves serve more than just electric aesthetics.”
This article also features commentary from ASU faculty like Assistant Professor Rebecca Muenich and MSIVD Interim Director Brent Sebold discussing the dynamics of both the agricultural challenges and business development opportunities that face Lemna.
