New Sponge Tech Fights Microplastic Pollution!

Researchers created a groundbreaking sponge using cotton and squid bone that's incredibly effective at removing microplastics from water.

Tests showed this filter could eliminate up to 99.9% of microplastics, a huge leap forward in tackling water pollution.

The best part? This sponge’s production appears easily scalable, unlike previous methods that failed to work on a large scale.

With further development and testing, this technology could be a game-changer in combating the global microplastic crisis, protecting both our environment and health.
