CLEANR and The 5 Gyres Institute have joined forces to advance science-driven solutions to microplastic pollution from washing machines—one of the leading sources of microplastics in the environment.
While microplastics have harmful health effects of their own, they can also act as carriers of additives and toxic chemicals that can leach into our bodies.
Scientists are uncovering alarming evidence that microplastics, tiny plastic particles from our environment, can infiltrate the brain—raising serious concerns about their impact on human health.
New nature-inspired filters consistently outperform the market in manufacturer-testing, are small enough to integrate without major changes, enables microplastics capture in under 30 seconds a week
U.S. venture and world-leading German mesh-manufacturer collaborate on a solution that captures more than 90% of microplastic fibers as small as 50-microns.
Device will help appliance-manufacturers meet new regulations on the world’s number-one source of microplastic pollution, beginning in France.
