Washing machines – Filters for washing water

Less microplastic from textiles

Every time synthetic fabrics are washed, thousands of microplastic particles are released. Fiber abrasion is responsible for 35 percent of global marine pollution caused by microplastics. GKD has developed a mesh for microplastic filters designed for washing machines to combat this problem. The filter removes up to 90 percent of microplastic fibers with a size of up to 50 μm from washing machine wastewater by combining vortex technology and POROMETRIC mesh.

The mesh of the innovative vortx unit is specially optimized for the challenges of microplastic filtration and offers outstanding filtration performance, long service life, and efficiency. The microplastic filters with the GKD mesh can be integrated into modern washing machines or used as a retrofit option for existing models.
