Atlantic City Installs First Commercial Microplastics Filter at Wastewater Plant

Atlantic City has installed what is described as the first commercial-scale microplastics filter at its wastewater treatment plant, a step aimed at stopping plastic particles from entering the ocean through treated discharge. If proven effective, the technology could set a precedent for other coastal cities facing growing concern over microplastic pollution in waterways and marine food chains.

Why now: The first commercial deployment of microplastics filtration at a wastewater plant is a notable environmental milestone amid rising concern over plastic pollution.
