Microplastics originate from various sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic items such as bottles, bags, and packaging. Additionally, synthetic clothing fibres shed during washing cycles contribute to the microplastic load in waterways. Microbeads, tiny plastic particles used in personal care products like facial scrubs and toothpaste, also contribute to the proliferation of this contaminant in our environment.

Health Concerns

When consumed via contaminated water sources, microplastics can accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and potentially transfer harmful chemicals to the body. The small size of these particles enables them to penetrate tissues and organs, raising concerns about their ability to disrupt biological processes and contribute to inflammatory responses.

While the full extent of the health implications of is still under investigation, addressing microplastic pollution in water is crucial for safeguarding human health and well-being.

Aqualine’s commitment to water purity extends to our activated carbon filters, which play a pivotal role in the comprehensive removal of impurities, with a particular focus on microplastics. As water flows through the activated carbon filter, the porous surface of the carbon material attracts and captures microplastics, essentially adhering them to the filter media.

For those seeking the pinnacle of water purification, our range of reverse osmosis systems sets a new standard. Going beyond the capabilities of traditional filtration, these systems employ a sophisticated process to eliminate contaminants, with a particular emphasis on microplastics. 

Reverse osmosis involves forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane, effectively screening out impurities down to the molecular level. This filtration method ensures that  microplastics particles are excluded from the purified water.
