These tiny fibres end up in our oceans, in our food chain and in our water supply

Our filtration technology captures
over 99% of microplastics

United by a shared vision of a better future, our scientists and engineers have developed our
patented XFilter technology – the highest performing washing machine filtration device available.

Today our technology is ready for application. Working alongside industry, we engineer our filtration
solution to work with any washing machine model for our partners to scale.
