CLEANR Featured in San Francisco Chronicle for Tackling Microplastics at the Source

The San Francisco Chronicle recently highlighted CLEANR’s manta ray–inspired filter, which captures over 90% of the microplastics shed in laundry before they can enter wastewater systems. Without intervention, these tiny fibers flow into treatment plants, where they often end up in sludge spread on farmland, eventually leaching into soil, water, and food. By stopping microplastics in the wash, CLEANR is helping protect both people and the planet.
