- [Are Waste water Treatment Plants Not Filtering Microfibres?–NO!](https://www.cleaner-seas.com/news/are-waste-water-treatment-plants-not-filtering-microfibres-no/): Microfibres, those minuscule fibres shed from synthetic textiles during washing, are an invisible but pervasive pollutant. With their microscopic size and synthetic composition, they are wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. Many assume that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are failing to filter these fibres entirely, but the reality is more complex. WWTPs play a vital role in capturing microfibres, yet the process is not foolproof. One major factor is wastewater sludge—an often-overlooked component that can inadvertently allow microfibres to reach the oceans. Let’s unravel how this happens and what it means for our environment.
