Microplastics are commonly added to fabric softeners, shampoos and cosmetics, agricultural and industrial products.
Many end up end up in the ocean, where they are ingested by marine life, blocking digestion, affecting nutrition and working their way up the food chain, potentially to humans. Every year, Europe alone releases a bulk amount of microplastics into the environment equivalent to 10bn plastic bottles.
We are helping manufacturers make the transition from traditional plastics to a high performance, non-synthetic alternative.
