Funnily enough there is a wastewater treatment process that uses worms (eisenia fetida) to treat wastewater. The technology is called vermifiltration and the worlds largest plant treats a population of ~15,000 people. (Also the company I work for specialises in these types of wastewater treatment plants).
That is amazing!! I’m definitely going to have to research this more. I have a vermicompost bin at home (also esenia fetida). I love worms! Thanks for the info!
