Abstract
A washing machine includes a cabinet in which a washing tub is defined. A discharge piping fluidically connects to the washing tub on one side, and connectable to a waste system on the other side. A discharge pump is situated in the discharge piping and is configured to push a washing liquid, containing microplastics and coming from the washing tub, towards the waste system. A discharge pump filter is situated in the discharge piping fluidically upstream of the discharge pump and is configured to trap any foreign bodies that may be present in the microplastic-containing washing liquid. A microplastic filtering system is situated in the discharge piping fluidically downstream of the discharge pump. A drawer internally houses the system.
