Mitigation of microplastics impact caused by textile washing processes

MERMAIDS project contributes to the mitigation of the impact caused by micro and/or nanoplastic particles resulting from laundry waste water on European seas’ ecosystems, by demonstrating and implementing innovative technologies and additives for laundry processes and textile finishing treatments. Policy recommendations will be set in order to promote the widespread implementation of technologies that will contribute to reach a Good Environmental Status (GES) by 2020.
