Sell this as water bottle with a clever way to get rid of the residue and make money.

Can't really keep it as a bottle because you need the lipase and the ironoxise molecule

I wonder if they have an order-of-magnitude estimate of the cost to install/operate a system using this technology in municipal systems. Ideally, we'd have systems to remove microplastics from both municipal water sources and municipal wastewater. Also, does this have to be a standalone step in a separate tank, or can it be included in existing flocculation processes.
