“Electrolux launches microplastic filter to help tackle rising tide of plastic pollution” I am extremely glad that Electrolux started to address one of the biggest environmental problems that is not often talked about; microplastics. “March 31, 2022 Electrolux launches a new Microplastic Filter for washing machines to help prevent up to two plastic bags worth of microplastic fibers* from being released from laundry, per household, every year. The new Microplastic Filter can prevent up to 90% of microplastic fibers, larger than 45 microns, being released from synthetic clothing during laundering. Laundering alone causes around half a million tons of plastic microfibers to be released into the ocean every year. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the size of the problem is the equivalent of releasing three billion polyester shirts into the ocean every year. **” https://www.electroluxgroup.com/en/electrolux-launches-microplastic-filter-to-help-tackle-rising-tide-of-plastic-pollution-34151/

Unfortunately cost prohibitive
Write or agree to climate reviews to make businesses and world leaders act. It’s easy and it works.
Certified accounts actively looking for your opinion on their climate impact.
One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.

Well thought out development project

This development will definitely sort out a issue that machine owners know little or even nothing about. However what solution is there for those who wash their clothes by hands who of course have their clothes shed microplastics too by handwashing? And again what advice is given in regard to disposing off the sieved microplastics??Is is by dumping them into the garbage bins (of course not),burn them or what's the best way to get rid of them without having them find their way into the environment?

A well-needed initiative! Microplastics pollution has to be tackled urgently
