“Plastic Nostrum” is a filter system for microplastic-contaminated marine waters, inspired by terracotta.
It consists of two combinable and stackable modules (called Terrákos) made either traditionally by hand or through ceramic 3D printing, which contain Neptune balls — fibre balls made from the decomposition of posidonia that act as a fishing net, trapping plastic.
The shape of the grooves, which vary according to the technique used to produce the pieces, add a sense of beauty and facilitate the movement of the water.
