At Grale, we are dedicated to ending the plastic pollution crisis and building a truly circular future. Here, we share insights, research, and stories about the challenges and solutions shaping the fight against plastic waste. Explore the latest developments in technology, sustainability, and innovation with us.
A recent pilot study has made headlines around the world: microplastics were found inside the tumors of most men diagnosed with prostate cancer. These findings raise important questions about how...
Recent scientific reviews are raising important questions about how microplastics might be more than an environmental nuisance. Emerging evidence suggests they may interact with biological pathways linked to neurological conditions,...
The numbers in this graphic are a sobering reminder of why our mission at Grale is so urgent. A plastic bottle used for 15 minutes can persist in our environment...
Microplastics (plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters) and nanoplastics (even smaller particles, often invisible to the eye) are now found in food, drinking water, and air. Because we swallow small...
Plastic cutting boards are convenient, cheap, and easy to sanitize but there’s a tradeoff most of us never think about. Every time a knife hits a plastic surface, it doesn’t...
Microplastics are no longer future issues - they’re here, now. At the same time, regulations are tightening, sustainability expectations are rising, and brands are under growing pressure to act. At...
Microplastic, tiny bits of plastic less than 5 mm in size, are no longer just an environmental concern. New scientific evidence shows they are present in human tissues and may...
A major international study published in The Lancet Planetary Health has delivered a warning: the harmful effects of plastic emissions on human health could more than double by 2040 if current...
Microplastics, tiny plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm, are known to be widespread in the environment, food, and even human tissues. Recent research has now identified chewing gum as another...
When we talk about plastic pollution, images of plastic bags, bottles, and packaging usually come to mind. Yet one of the largest sources of microplastics globally is far less visible...
Choosing between bottled water and tap water feels like a small everyday decision. But in recent years, microplastics have added a new dimension to that choice. Headlines often suggest that...
Recent scientific findings reveal that microplastics and nanoplastics are present in human brain tissue – in quantities that have alarmed researchers worldwide. When translated into everyday terms, the amount of plastic...
Every time we wash our clothes, something unseen happens: microscopic fibers are released from textiles and flushed into wastewater systems. These particles, commonly referred to as microfibers or microplastics, originate primarily from synthetic...
