Plant-based filter removes up to 99.9% of microplastics from water
Researchers may have found an effective, green way to remove microplastics from our water using readily available plant materials. Their device was found to capture up to 99.9% of a wide variety of microplastics known to pose a health risk to humans.

And then put it where?
Sprinkle it on top of ice-creams
Seems more like a froyo topping than ice cream idk
Is the froyo cursed?
The toppings contain Potassium Benzoate.
Can I go now?
It comes with a free doll... which is also cursed.
It was better than Eclair, not as good as Gingerbread.
While I think this is a perfectly valid follow-up question, even if the "solution" is to bury it (with safeguards such as not able to get into groundwater), that's better than it being in the drinking water. Short term at least.
Considering how early this research is, it's also possible they wanted to know their filter works before solving disposal. And, while not explicit, it sounds like this is meant to replace existing filters that themselves use plastic, so this could be a net gain even if disposed in the exact same manner as the original filters however that may be.
If we can take it away from our water and trap it in plant material, I think it would be better off.
Some one else's water.
And then put it where?
Macroplastics?
Let plastic-eating microbes dissolve it.
