Identification of Industrial Plastic Emissions by means of Innovative Detection Methods and Technology Development to Prevent the Input into the Environment via the Wastewater Pathway: Industrial wastewater is one of the entry routes for microplastics into water bodies. However, little is known about how many of these tiny plastic particles are actually found in the wastewater of different industrial sectors, how their emission can be avoided and which effective purification technologies exist. The EmiStop joint research project aims to provide answers. For the first time, partners from industry and science want to compile reliable information on plastic types in various industrial wastewaters and their concentrations. In addition, they want to develop measures adapted to the respective industry so that microplastics do not get into wastewater in the first place or can at least be efficiently removed from it.
