It is the result of hard teamwork, commitment to circular economy and&nbsp;advanced microfiber filtering technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe are thrilled and very proud for winning this challenge for the second time in a row. It is extremely important for us to provide the best filtering solution and closed loop service to our customers. This comes as a result of hard work, dedication, and expertise of the whole PlanetCare team and I couldn\u2019t be prouder of them. Our filters are extensively and continuously internally tested, but it\u2019s the independent testing such as this that is crucial for validation and full transparency. We are very grateful to RISE Research Institutes of Sweden for facilitating this much-needed innovation competition,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;said Mojca Zupan, PlanetCare\u2019s Founder and CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's a sneak-peek into&nbsp;our lab where all the magic (and laundry) happens.&nbsp;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/0145\/2087\/files\/zero-microplastics-challenge-2020_1.jpg?v=1608232491\" alt=\"Zero Microplastics Challenge 2020\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We would also like to thank the wonderful and supportive PlanetCare community.
