Filter Technology Evaluation for Microfibre Capture
topic
Washing machine filter and laundry bag performance testing measures microfibre capture efficiency across different pore sizes and filter media types by comparing microfibre concentrations in filtered versus unfiltered effluent water, expressing capture efficiency as percentage mass or count reduction at defined particle size fractions using gravimetric and microscopic quantification.
Role
Evaluates the mitigation effectiveness of point-of-source microfibre capture technologies including external laundry bags, internal machine filters, and drain filters for washing machine effluent, providing the efficiency data needed for product certification standards and consumer guidance on microfibre pollution reduction interventions.
