Matter Industries

What we do:

Matter Industries develops advanced filtration systems designed to target microfibre pollutants. These tiny plastic particles are shed from synthetic textiles. They have engineered these filters to intercept and capture those fibres before they enter wastewater systems. It's a way of reducing microplastic pollution at the source.

For People and Planet :

The significance of Matter's work extends beyond environmental preservation; it directly impacts human health. Microplastics have infiltrated our bodies, appearing in blood, lungs, food, and water, with emerging research linking them to inflammation, hormone disruption, and potential harm to vital organs and unborn children. By intercepting microplastics at their source, Matter plays a crucial role in reducing these health risks.

Why we do it:

In short, these filters help prevent sneaky microplastics from entering our rivers and oceans, benefiting everyday people who want cleaner water and healthier ecosystems. On a larger scale, it means less pollution, a more balanced environment, and hopefully some relief for marine life as well. It’s all about making life better for both people and the planet!

Think of it this way: by filtering out these microplastics, we are genuinely reducing long-term pollutants entering our ecosystems. This leads to healthier waterways, less contamination in our food chain, and a more stable environment overall.
