Knotty & Nice: New ways to treat textile wastewater
While holiday parties will be virtual this year, holiday sweaters in all their glittered, sometimes sequined, and knit glory are still making their annual appearance. Textile manufacturing is a multibillion dollar global industry, and novelty products like holiday sweaters comprise a significant market in the United States. We rely on textile products in our holiday sweaters, carpets, furniture, bedding, cars, hospitals, and more.

- filter-feeding shellfish consuming organic and metal contaminants from water
- aquatic plants soaking up excess chemical nutrients and replenishing oxygen (2)
