Nature-Inspired Tech Prevents Microplastics Entering Atlantic Ocean Through Wastewater

Originally published on Good News Network

Princeton alumni have designed what's called a first-in-the-world device to filter microplastics out of wastewater at scale, and it's already been deployed in Atlantic City. The large implant mimics hydrophobic plants found in nature, which completely shed water on contact but also attract microplastic particles. With the water moved on and the particles thusly removed
