Cigarette Butts as a Microplastic Time Bomb

4.5 trillion cigarette butts poison our environment annually! Each filter contains 15,000 microplastic fibers and over 7,000 toxic chemicals. A single butt contaminates 1,000 liters of water. Learn how we can act together without laws.

Microplastics from Shoe Soles

With every step, microplastics are created: shoe sole abrasion systematically burdens our environment. While politics fails, we deliver scientifically sound data instead of lobby estimates. Time for the polluter-pays principle!

Microplastic Footprint

Microplastics are everywhere—from the Arctic to human blood. While CO2 footprints are standard, until now, there has been no scale for microplastic assessment. We define the microplastic footprint and revolutionize detection using fluorescence.

Standardized Sampling in Microplastic Analytics

Microplastic sampling with traditional nets vastly underestimates microplastic pollution! Our revolutionary PSU captures the entire water column in a standardized way. EU projects UPSTREAM & REMEDIES prove: Only complete sampling delivers valid data.

Microplastic Mapping in Cities, Counties, and Rivers

From cities to rivers: Microplastics know no boundaries. German waters are contaminated nationwide. With our "EVERYTHING IN FLOW" campaign, we create transparency & solutions. Become part of the movement for clean water!

Microplastics from artificial turf versus hybrid turf

New scientific studies prove that artificial turf pitches without prevention strategies are massive sources of microplastics. Up to 15% of marine plastic comes from artificial turf fibers. Hybrid turf does not solve the problem. We explain.

PFAS in everyday life

Toilet paper contains PFAS chemicals that enter wastewater systems when flushed. These "forever chemicals" accumulate in humans and the environment, causing cancer, immunodeficiency, and developmental disorders. The EU is planning a comprehensive ban.

Microplastic Removal and Climate Impact

Microplastics are heating up the climate! New microplastics research shows: plastic particles disrupt the marine carbon pump and release greenhouse gases. But targeted removal at hotspots can prevent $390 billion in climate damage. Learn how simple this can be here.
