Microplastic from textiles
We offer both qualitative and quantitative analysis of microfibres from textile sources, both synthetic (microplastic) and natural.
Purpose
Microplastics, particularly in the form of fibres, have become a persistent environmental concern. These minute threads, originating from synthetic textiles such as polyester and nylon, are often invisible to the naked eye. They have infiltrated our oceans, soils, and even the air we breathe, posing a significant threat to ecosystems and human health.
To tackle the microplastic issue, RISE has partnered up with various startups, washing machine manufacturers, and governmental bodies.
We utilize established techniques for measuring fibre release and develop new methodologies tailored to specific purposes.
By assessing your production processes, we can propose measures to minimize environmental effects while preserving product quality.
