Microplastic Capture
Researchers are creating devices that capture microplastics from oceans
Trend - Microplastic pollution is an ever-increasing problem in the modern world, with traces of microplastics being found in everything from food to living organisms. The world's oceans are a hotspot for this pollution, leading to science organizations creating devices to recapture microplastics.

Insight - There is increased pressure from consumers and governments alike for businesses to engage in sustainable practices and offset their emissions. These businesses seek solutions for reducing and offsetting their emissions that are transparent and tangible. Ideally, businesses desire solutions that go beyond minor reductions in annual CO2 emissions. These methods improve businesses' government standings and their ability to market to eco-conscious consumers. With the rising concerns surrounding microplastic pollution and carbon emissions, these corporations are reinvesting a portion of profits into NGOs and research centers for mutual benefit.
Workshop Question - How could your industry contribute to pollution recapture?
