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.

We asked Senior Design Engineer, Mike Lawrence-Owen, to give us some technical insight into our dynamic Regen filter technology, and the story behind it’s development.

Following the launch of our 2023 impact report, we reflect on some key insights and our approach to measuring impact as a business.

Our founder and CEO, Adam Root, was recently welcomed on the Hardware to Save a Planet podcast, a podcast that explores technical innovations that are aiding in the fight against climate change.
