Problem
Approximately 650,000 metric tonnes of microplastics enter the oceans each year, with a significant portion originating from textiles and laundry wastewater. These microplastics pose a threat to marine ecosystems and potentially human health. Current wastewater treatment methods are often insufficient in capturing these microscopic pollutants.
Solution
Matter. has developed Regen.™, a patented filtration system designed to capture and recycle microplastics from wastewater streams. The technology utilizes a regenerative process to efficiently separate microfibers, specifically targeting emissions from textiles and laundry. Regen.™ is applied across various markets to capture microplastics and microfibers across major emission pathways, including laundry, textiles, and wastewater treatment facilities. The company's approach aims to mitigate microplastic pollution at scale through efficient separation processes.
Target Audience
Matter.'s primary customers include textile manufacturers, laundry facilities, wastewater treatment plants, and consumers seeking to reduce microplastic pollution from their laundry.
