20 JANUARY 2021 A new technique using diamonds and titanium has the potential to help remove plastic microfibres before they enter the environment, by decomposing them into naturally occurring molecules.   It's a secret the fashion industry would prefer to keep under wraps – most of our synthetic clothes are made of plastic, and they're contributing to a big problem, shedding microplastic fibres into our waste water. "The release of microplastics into the marine environment is recognised as an important problem related to water pollution. It has been shown that in aquatic environments...

The results of this research have been published in the Environmental Pollution journal. Wastewater can carry high concentrations of microplastics into the environment. These small particles of less than 5 mm can come from our clothes, usually as microfibers. Professor Patrick Drogui, who led the study, points out there are currently no established degradation methods to handle this contamin...
