Microplastics are a growing issue that most people never see, but they are becoming impossible to ignore,”

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Multipure, a trusted leader in the water filtration industry for more than 50 years, has released the fifth installment of its FREE, Dewey, the Clean Water Superhero comic series. This new issue titled, Plastic Pretender, tackles one of today’s fastest-growing environmental concerns: the invisible but dangerous spread of microplastics in drinking water.

“Microplastics are a growing issue that most people never see, but they are becoming impossible to ignore,” said Zachary Rice, President of Multipure. “It is important for families to be informed and to understand these challenges. We are providing the information in a kid-friendly way, turning real water issues into compelling stories that help raise awareness.”

Multipure’s latest comic uses storytelling to make this complex topic approachable for children and families, highlighting the importance of reducing plastic waste.

Microplastics have been found in tap water, bottled water, rivers, lakes, and other natural water systems around the world. According to a global study up to 83% of tap water worldwide has been found to contain microplastics. The study also stated that ingested microplastic particles have already been associated with harmful effects in animals, which raise concerns about similar outcomes in humans.

Growing awareness of these “invisible” contaminants is also shaping consumer behavior. In a recent multi-year Multipure survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents (64.5%) said water quality concerns influenced their decision to purchase a filter.

Issue #5 “Plastic Pretender” Synopsis:
The adventure begins when a new figure appears in the city, Everform, a flashy hero who “fixes” problems by using plastic. At first, citizens celebrate this quick solution, until Dewey notices something wrong: Everform’s plastic patches break down, seep into the water supply, and fuel the emergence of Microplastico, a villain born from the accumulation of plastic waste. As Microplastico spreads through the city’s water, Dewey realizes this is not a foe to defeat with sheer strength. Instead, Dewey must stop the problem at the source and restore clean, safe water.
