Summary

Researchers demonstrated that commercially available melamine foam can rapidly adsorb 91–97% of microplastics including polyethylene, PVC, and PLA from flowing water in under five minutes, maintaining over 95% efficiency across 20 reuse cycles, with field tests at a landfill site in China confirming greater than 95% removal over 62 days.
