If all the gathered cut grass is incinerated, treatment processes starting from the ashes could remove metals, like [https://2016.igem.org/Team:Aix-Marseille/Integrated_Practices/Process our process]. Such processes are  currently being developed as for ''Alyssum murale '' a plant able to accumulate Nickel too.

The advantage of phytoremediation is that this process rely on the uses of biomass, and biomass is produced easily almost everywhere. Biomass can be used for another purpose before being used to recover precious metals as platinum or to remove from the environment toxic and pollutant metals.
