Each time a washing machine is put in polyester clothes, thousands of tiny plastic fibers escape through the drain towards rivers and seas. A team of Spanish scientists have come up with ways to trap them and make them disappear completely from the water. Researchers from the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint center of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), have developed …

The CSIC and the UPV completely eliminate the microplastics that the polyester releases when washing: sand that filters and ultraviolet light that degrades them. The Microplastic input of the washing machine: the CSIC system and the UPV that completely eliminates them (and so it works) was first published in What!.
