Microplastics, explained
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can enter drinking water through environmental runoff, aging infrastructure, and the gradual breakdown of everyday plastics.
-
The problem
Microplastics have been detected in up to 83% of global tap water samples, highlighting how widespread these particles have become.
-
The challenge
The smaller the particle, the more advanced filtration technology typically needs to be to help reduce it.
-
The MaxClear solution
Culligan filtration is backed by independent IAPMO certification and rigorous testing to verify reduction of modern drinking water contaminants—including microplastics
