Abstract: A closed loop system for and method of capture, recycling, and safe disposal of microplastics, applied to residential and commercial textile washing and drying machine devices is proposed. The closed loop system allows for effective capture, processing and recycling, or safe disposal of microplastic material. The system employs an easy-to-use filter design, optimized to capture microplastics within the device or through air or water discharge lines, followed by post-processing of filter devices where the captured microplastic residue is physically or chemically processed for either recycling the captured microplastic residue into new filters or new products, or alternatively the captured microplastic residue can be locked into a safe matrix for disposal, wherein leaching from landfills into the environment is minimized or eliminated.

Abstract: Indicator device for a hearing loop, arranged to be permanently installed at a location from which it is clearly visible for a user of the hearing loop during such use. The indicator device includes a minimum magnetic field setting unit, a hearing loop detection unit arranged to measure the current field strength of a magnetic field produced by the hearing loop, an interpretation device arranged to translate the detected field strength, in relation to the minimum field strength, to produce a corresponding current relative intensity signal, as well as a variable display unit arranged to display a visible signal indicating the value of the current intensity signal.
