Indian Teen Trio Wins Global Earth Prize for Microplastic-Removing Innovation
Teaser / Tailpiece story
Three 16 year old students from India have won the Global Earth Prize in Geneva for developing an innovative solution to remove microplastics from water.
The team created a biodegradable powder called Plas Stick, made from tamarind seed, which binds tiny plastic particles into clumps that can be easily removed from shared water containers using a simple magnet. The invention is designed as a low cost, accessible option for communities without advanced filtration systems.
The group says the recognition is a major milestone and they now plan to scale the solution to reach more rural communities in India and beyond.
