Moby Filters is a Techstars-backed startup tackling the growing crisis of microplastic pollution, a $270 billion global problem. These tiny, harmful particles pollute ecosystems, and threaten human health—the average person unknowingly ingests a credit card’s worth of microplastics every week. The majority come from textiles, shedding into wastewater during washing or manufacturing, driving up operational costs and regulatory pressure for businesses.
Moby’s patent-pending technology captures and repurposes microplastics before they enter the environment—helping businesses cut sewage costs by up to 30% while staying ahead of regulations. Born out of Columbia University, our team has spent four years developing a scalable solution.
