A powder made from waste tamarind seeds that clumps microplastics for easy removal from water with a handheld magnet
Microplastics hide in our drinking water, but they're too small to see. We make a special powder from discarded tamarind seeds that acts like a magnet for these microplastics. When mixed into a container of water, the microplastics stick together into little clumps. We pull these clumps out with a magnet, leaving cleaner water behind. The collected microplastics are safely turned into small useful items like tiles or coasters so it can't return to nature. This simple method helps protect people, animals, and our planet from invisible plastic pollution.
