Why Microplastics in Water Are a Growing Concern
Microplastics—tiny plastic particles found in water, food, and even the air—are now an increasing health and environmental concern. Studies suggest they may carry toxins, disrupt ecosystems, and even accumulate in the human body. While they are invisible to the naked eye, they are present in nearly all water sources.
At Ecofiltro, we believe clean water should be truly clean, without invisible contaminants. That’s why we put our natural filtration system to the test against one of today’s biggest water challenges: microplastics.
Laboratory Test: 70 µm Polystyrene Beads
A recent study conducted by Measurlabs (ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited) in Helsinki, Finland has confirmed Ecofiltro’s ability to remove microplastics. The test specifically analyzed Ecofiltro’s performance against polystyrene microplastics, which are commonly found in household and industrial water sources.
🔬 Key Findings:
- Three filtering units tested – Other particles were recorded in some filtered samples; the report does not establish zero shedding.
- No added 70 µm polystyrene beads detected after filtration introduced in controlled testing.
- High filtration accuracy – Verified by an 88.4% recovery rate, ensuring test reliability.
Results apply to the tested 70 µm polystyrene beads and conditions; the report does not establish removal of all microplastics or zero shedding.
Why This Matters for Your Health & Home
- Protect Your Health – Emerging research suggests microplastic ingestion may lead to long-term health risks, including potential hormone disruption and accumulation in organs. The test result applies to the 70 µm polystyrene beads and conditions described in the report.
- Safe for the Planet – Unlike conventional plastic-heavy filtration systems, Ecofiltro’s 100% plastic-free design means the laboratory report describes results for tested 70 µm polystyrene beads.
- Sustainable & Cost-Effective – A long-lasting, eco-friendly solution that provides safe, purified water without the waste of plastic bottles or disposable filters.
The Ecofiltro Commitment: Clean, Sustainable, Trustworthy
Results apply to the tested 70 µm polystyrene beads and conditions; the report does not establish removal of all microplastics or zero shedding.
