Road traffic – Filter system for tire abrasion

Less Microplastic for minimal effort

Tire abrasion in road traffic is one of the main causes of microplastic. The tiny particles detach from the tires with every journey and are washed into the road runoff by surface water. Depending on the type of sewer system, the particles can enter waterways and soil unhindered. GKD has developed a new filter system that is proven to capture up to 97 percent of all solid particles (TSS). The year-round filter system can be integrated into existing road drainage systems.

The patent-pending road runoff filter specifically combats microplastic pollution at municipal hotspots, such as major road junctions. GKD took the particular requirements of local authorities into account when developing the filter. Due to the construction and mesh properties, the filters have a high dirt holding capacity, which makes them usually compatible with the standard maintenance of road gullies.
