With microplastic pollution rising rapidly as a global environmental concern, Australia is fast becoming an increasingly important region for action. During Matter’s visit, discussions centred around both our existing retrofit Regen® solution and the opportunity for integration into next-generation washing machines.

Matter’s Chief Commercial Officer, Anthony Kolanko, recently spent some time in Oregon, meeting with global sports and fashion brands, NGOs and legislators to understand how growing awareness of microplastic pollution is influencing decision-making and shaping the political agenda.

Before the pilot units of Regen® for Textiles leave Matter HQ, we sat down with Senior Design Engineer, Fergal Feeney, to learn more about the technical process behind preparing, assembling, and testing the units.

This month, our Regen® for Textile Production technology will be heading out into field for the very first time- to celebrate this milestone we spoke with Reuben, Head of Engineering, to share what this means for us as a business and as a team.

At Global Fashion Summit 2026, Matter took to the new Workshop Stage with a clear objective: move the industry from conversation to coordinated action on microplastic pollution.

Through continued focus on practical, scalable solutions, Matter is contributing to a future where environmental progress is not only possible, but actively underway.

The release of the new Netflix documentary on microplastics marks a cultural moment that’s been building for years. For many viewers, it will be the first time they see, clearly and unavoidably, how deeply microplastics have entered our environment, our homes, and even our bodies. For those of us working in this space every day, it’s a powerful reminder that the science is no longer niche, the impacts are no longer abstract, and the solutions can no longer wait; the human story is laid bare in a way we can all relate to.

Headquartered in Bristol, a city known for its cutting-edge green innovation, Matter is revealed as a 2025 Finalist in the world’s most prestigious and impactful environmental award, The Earthshot Prize.

New research by Matter, a British sustainable technology scale-up, in partnership with BSH, reveals widespread consumer concerns about the impact of microplastics. Despite growing awareness of the impact on human health and the environment, the majority of UK households are unaware their laundry habits are part of the problem.

To mark the launch of our latest Impact Report, we reflect on the words of our CEO and Founder, Adam Root.

British sustainable technology scale-up Matter has announced a major new partnership with one of Europe’s leading domestic washing machine manufacturers.

It will see BSH, under the brands Bosch and Siemens, launch across Europe a sustainable microfibre filter for use with domestic washing machines that will address the global microplastic pollution crisis by preventing up to 97% of microfibres from being released into wastewater during every wash cycle.
