Matter is pioneering ways to capture, harvest, and recycle microplastics in commercial and industrial contexts. The company has developed the world’s most advanced technology to filter microplastic emissions in wastewater without the need for disposables, cartridges, or replacement components. As textile emissions are responsible for more than a third of oceanic microplastic pollution, Matter’s first commercial application is for domestic washing machines. They are also developing technology to turn captured microplastics into a valuable resource for new products in the circular economy.
