Fibrestop Novel in-build filters for washing machines to stop microfibres pollution
Coordinator: PLANET CARE RESITVE ZA OKOLJE DOO (SI)
Microplastics are small (< 5mm) plastic particles which constitute a large part of plastic pollution. Although less visible to the eye, microplastics have been found to be dispersed in all environmental compartments and have a great ability to enter, influence and endanger natural food webs. The Environmental Investigation Agency estimated that a total of 51 trillion microplastic particles have accumulated in the ocean, with up to 219,000 tonnes of microplastics entering the sea from Europe each year. Microplastic pollution caused by washing processes of synthetic textiles has recently been a…
About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)
Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.
Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.6M toward a total project budget of €2.3M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2020-11-01 to 2023-04-30.
