Microplastics-invisible threat to our health

Microplastics (particles <5mm) enter our bodies every day via air, food and through our skin. It is estimated that each person consumes between 74,000 to 121,000 particles per year. Increasing evidence through studies on the blood, heart and brain show possible health risks. Read more about this in our blog.

Microplastics and the credit card lie

The much-cited claim that we are ingesting "5 g microplastics per week = 1 credit card" is based on a methodologically questionable WWF study from 2019.

Real solutions need solid science instead of shock figures.
