That’s it though The current filter has to allow water through fairly freely as whilst it’s not under pressure it is a significant delivery.
A filter that would stop all sure would also be restrictive to water flow. Maybe more could be done at the the sewage farm?
a sizeable proportion of the microfibres were still eluding the filtration systems

Also, is bamboo another option?

I am not sure that there is much that fits this bill yet, hemp and flax could be contenders for the future
