BERLIN, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEANR, a new greentech venture based in the U.S., today unveiled its powerful new internal and external-retrofit microplastic filters for washing machines at the world's largest appliance industry conference, IFA Berlin. Washing machine wastewater is the single largest source of microplastic pollution globally, accounting for 35% of emissions.[i]

Key Points: 
  • Washing machine wastewater is the single largest source of microplastic pollution globally, accounting for 35% of emissions.
  • "This enables our filters to handle three times as many wash loads as others before filter-cleaning, operate with no electrical pumps, and trap the smallest microfibers."
  • [ii] To address the problem, governments in Europe and North America are moving to require that new washing machines be outfitted with microplastic filters.
  • CLEANR's Premium External Filter features a simple and elegant design and is compatible with virtually any washing machine.

CLEVELAND, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GKD Group, a world-leading mesh filtration manufacturer and CLEANR, a developer of advanced microplastics filtering technologies, have teamed to help washing machine manufacturers meet new and emerging regulations aimed at eliminating plastic microfiber pollution in global waterways, ecosystems and food chains.

Key Points: 
  • CLEANR's unique patent-pending technology can be applied as an external filter or readily integrated into modern washing machine designs as a pre-installed solution.
  • CLEANR also offers a consumer-friendly dry disposal mechanism that prevents hands-on contact with microfiber waste and prevents it from being washed down the drain.
  • Over a half-million tons of plastic microfibers spill into the oceans every year in the form of washing machine wastewater.
  • This accounts for 35% of all microplastics in the environment, making clothing and textiles the world's number-one source of microplastic pollution.
