These plug up your septic and eventually cause costly damage to the septic system at your home cabin resort or business.
Microplastic water filter.
How do water filters remove microplastics.
Filters can cut the volume of ocean bound microplastic fibres released by washing machines a study has shown.
The buoy contains filters and acts passively collecting particles as its drifts and spins in the current.
The current filters last about 20 washes for a household of four before the membrane has to be exchanged with a new one.
A new study on the effectiveness of laundry balls and a lint filter includes a scenario for.
