It is not just microplastics that end up in our tap water and food: plastic contains up to 16,000 chemicals, 4,200 of which are classified as harmful to humans and the environment.

What can we do?
AVOID PLASTIC PACKAGING FOR FOOD AND DRINKS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE:
Remember that Tetra Paks, tins and some ‘paper packaging’ for fruit and vegetables are lined with plastic.
AT LEAST REMOVE MICROPLASTICS FROM OUR TAP WATER:
e.g. with a SAN-MINI Kombi and its unique titanium filter cartridge with a 0.2-micron filter rating, which filters out not only the majority of microplastics but also other undissolved substances such as heavy metals and PFAS. The activated carbon filter also removes chemicals.
All this without electricity, without plastic, without rubber, without glue, and without complicated installation.
SAN-MINI and SAN-MAXI are the only products in the world that do not use plastic and have been awarded the Global Award and the Prestige Award.
