Current WWTPs are not designed to remove microplastic pollutants. In a study from Science Direct, microplastic fibers and beads were found to have reentered the environment after wash cycles. PolyGone deployed the first microplastics removal pilot at ACUA: tinyurl.com/3ekd567y

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Did you know that an estimated 10 to 40 metric tons of #microplastics enter the #environment each year, and 8 to 10 metric tons end up in our #oceans?

Plastic pollution is already an alarming issue, with over 8-10 mil tons entering the #ocean yearly. Yet there is no largescale regulation to combat this crisis. Each type has its own #respiratory risks, but all microplastics contain deadly #chemicals. tinyurl.com/3npuhbwp

NY could save $1.3 billion if they passed the Packaging Reduction Act, requiring companies to cut the amount of #plastic they are producing. The bill requires companies to develop a Plastic #Reduction plan, leading to less #microplastics in our water. tinyurl.com/yk9j4k2r

"Chewing a single piece of gum can release hundreds to thousands of pieces of #microplastic into the saliva in your mouth." We consume 10s of 1000s of microplastics each year, and practices like chewing gum increases that alarming number. newsweek.com/microplastics-… @noplastic_np

Good news, researchers found 39% less #plastic waste around Australian #coastalcities! This means plastic removal companies and public education is leading to less plastic on our #beaches. But there still needs to be more done by the federal government lnkd.in/gM_VYvMS
