Moringa is thought to have been used by Ancient Egyptians to sterilise water.
A millenia-old purification technique could be the cure for Europe’s microplastic-riddled drinking water.
In a recent study, seeds from the ‘miracle’ moringa tree were found to match or outperform their chemical counterpart in filtering out aged PVC microplastics – one of the most harmful plastic types for human health. The findings could pave the way for a greener alternative for treatment plants.

Forty years after the last one was poached, rhinos are back in the wild in Uganda
