Microplastics: An Emerging Threat
Microplastics are plastic pieces smaller than 5mm in diameter down to 1 micron in size. At this scale most are invisible to the naked eye and can easily be ingested by both aquatic wildlife and humans.
Microplastics oftentimes contain chemicals that are carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and disrupt reproductivity.
With global microplastic concentrations on the rise, it is likely that, if left unmanaged, microplastics will pose the greatest health hazard facing the next generation.
Our Mission
Microplastics are everywhere. In our oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the water we drink. It’s time for things to change.
PolyGone’s mission is to build systems for microplastic interception across key areas of microplastic emission and concentration. In doing so, we will safeguard water quality, human health, and aquatic ecosystems.
Our Tech
PolyGone has developed a patented media that passively binds to microplastics in water.
This media serves as the core of PolyGone’s proprietary ecosystem of microplastic filtration systems, designed to intercept microplastics from a variety of aquatic environments.

A New Plastic Paradigm
80% of all microplastics end up in the ocean.
Once there, they are almost impossible to recover and quickly permeate aquatic ecosystems.
Almost all microplastics travel via rivers, reservoirs, and treatment channels.
Intercepting microplastics from these 3 environments, will drastically reduce microplastic contamination globally.
Microplastics have never been recovered at scale until now.
PolyGone will be the first supplier for microplastic upcycling, turning this hazardous waste into a resource.
