Removing Microplastics From Water Using Plant-Based Materials
Plants could be the solution to the impending threat of microplastic pollution. Researchers at UBC’s BioProducts Institute discovered that adding tannins—natural plant compounds that cause the mouth to pucker when they bite into an unripe fruit—to a layer of wood dust can create a filter that traps nearly all microplastic particles in water.
