Researchers turn water-treatment waste into filter that removes 97% microplastics

Researchers are investigating a new method to filter microplastics from water. This approach uses waste generated during water treatment as a filtering material. Tests show this repurposed waste achieved significant microplastic removal efficiencies. The innovative strategy tackles two environmental issues simultaneously. This circular approach could enhance water purification processes in the future.
