CleanWash: IFPEN innovates to capture plastic microfibers from professional textile washing

Every time synthetic textiles are washed, millions of plastic microfibers can be released, representing a largely invisible but significant source of pollution. To remedy this, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) has developed CleanWash, a technology that captures and recovers these microfibers directly at the outlet of professional textile washing facilities.
