Researchers have discovered a method to drastically cut, even eradicate, microplastics from water using Okra and Fenugreek-derived polymers. These substances can attract and decrease microplastic contaminants in oceans and streams by up to 90%! #MicroplasticSolution #EcoInnovation
Okra and Fenugreek Extracts Safely Remove Microplastics From Water in New Texas Research
The slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds can trap microplastics better than the slightly-toxic synthetic polymer in use.
