Washing Bag, Prevent Microplastic Pollution

The Problem Most of the clothing today is made of synthetic, fossil fuel-based materials such as nylon or polyester. When washing these clothes, countless microplastic fibers are released and end up in the wastewater. Microplastic fibers are particularly difficult to filter out. They escape the filter systems of washing machines and wastewater treatment plants. Once in the rivers, lakes, and oceans the fibers accumulate toxins. Fish and other aquatic organisms cannot distinguish these microplastic particles from their actual food leading to infections or starvation. This is how synthetic fibers from our clothes end up on our plates and ultimately in the human body. The Solution The GUPPYFRIEND® Washing Bag is a scientifically proven and patented solution to prevent microplastic pollution from washing synthetic textiles. It’s the only solution that protects both: your clothes and the environment. It reduces fiber shedding significantly. It filters the fibers that break and doesn’t lose any fibers itself. It’s a daily reminder to change our buying and washing habits. Dimensions: 19.7" W x 29.1" L About GUPPYFRIEND Plastic sucks. It kills animals, pollutes nature, destroys our oceans, and attacks our health. But there is something that sucks even more: Microplastics. One of the most dominant environmental problems of our time. (yes, it is linked to climate change, too). We at GUPPYFRIEND set out on a mission to raise awareness for microplastic pollution and develop pragmatic and effective solutions to stop microplastics from ending up in our environment.
