Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far! Our plans for the fund will include additional #deployments in our partner's on-site grounds where we'll test our latest version of the artificial root filtration device. Furthermore, PolyGone's team plans to continuously partake in #communityengagement programs through collaboration and cooperation with the local vicinities most affected by #microplasticpollution in waterways. We're excited to show everyone our plans and projects for the future!

Last month, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its "National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution" report, which outlines its approach to mitigating the threat of plastic pollution to the environment and human health. The report includes a key focus on improving microplastic capture and removal technologies for wastewater, stormwater, and surface waters. The EPA's effective strategies include funding research, development, demonstration, deployment, and maintenance of existing technologies that capture and remove microplastics from water bodies. In addition, it calls for providing technical assistance to incorporate removal measures into local and state management plans. PolyGone is committed to developing innovative microplastic removal technology and strongly supports the measures the EPA is taking to address microplastic pollution.
