Audi Environmental Foundation, TUB developing microplastics filter for tire wear particles

Green Car Congress

The filters prevent tire wear particles and other environmentally harmful substances from being washed into sewers and bodies of water along with rainwater. From there, it is blown into the environment by the wind, or is washed by the rain as urban runoff through the sewers into the soil and rivers and ultimately the oceans.
