Did you know that bike tires emit #microplastics? Although, biking is an #environmentallyfriendly mode of transportation, the tires direct interaction with the #environment plastics being released into #ecosystems. no plastic, no problem. - fighting microplastics Plastics impact campaign sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Glitter is often found at many events and celebrations but did know you the glitter #microplastics can disrupt #marine biomineralization? New studies find data on the impact these microplastics have on marine #ecosystems. Read full article: phys.org/news/2025-04-m…

Good news, researchers found 39% less #plastic waste around Australian #coastalcities! This means plastic removal companies and public education is leading to less plastic on our #beaches. But there still needs to be more done by the federal government lnkd.in/gM_VYvMS

"Chewing a single piece of gum can release hundreds to thousands of pieces of #microplastic into the saliva in your mouth." We consume 10s of 1000s of microplastics each year, and practices like chewing gum increases that alarming number. newsweek.com/microplastics-… no plastic, no problem. - fighting microplastics

PolyGone is excited to be in CA next week to attend the SF #Climate Week! During the week, PolyGone will be attending several events, including the Ocean Tech Summit and the Investing in Water: Startup Showcase. (We will be showcased & presenting!). Feel free to stop by if in SF!

NY could save $1.3 billion if they passed the Packaging Reduction Act, requiring companies to cut the amount of #plastic they are producing. The bill requires companies to develop a Plastic #Reduction plan, leading to less #microplastics in our water. tinyurl.com/yk9j4k2r

Plastic pollution is already an alarming issue, with over 8-10 mil tons entering the #ocean yearly. Yet there is no largescale regulation to combat this crisis. Each type has its own #respiratory risks, but all microplastics contain deadly #chemicals. tinyurl.com/3npuhbwp

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Did you know that an estimated 10 to 40 metric tons of #microplastics enter the #environment each year, and 8 to 10 metric tons end up in our #oceans?

On 4/23 - Yidian & Nathaniel joined the Maritime Decarbonization and Ocean Resilience Summit, a SF Climate Week event, hosted by TMA BlueTech. The summit brought together policymakers, investors, and researchers exploring various #ocean resilience technologies. SF Climate Week

PolyGone participated in the Investing in #Water: #Startup Showcase during SF Climate Week at the SVB Experience Center in CA! As part of the Imagine H2O 2025 program, Nathaniel presented on PolyGone’s mission, #technology, and current fundraising.

Current WWTPs are not designed to remove microplastic pollutants. In a study from Science Direct, microplastic fibers and beads were found to have reentered the environment after wash cycles. PolyGone deployed the first microplastics removal pilot at ACUA: tinyurl.com/3ekd567y

What are #microplastics doing in our #brains? Did you know that we consume around 50,000 microplastic particles annually?
