Did you know most of our clothing today is made of synthetic, fossil fuel-based materials such as nylon or polyester. When washing our clothes, countless particles end up in our wastewater. Microplastic fibres are particularly difficult to filter out.

They escape the filter systems of washing machines and wastewater treatment plants. Once in the rivers and oceans the fibres accumulate toxins. Fish and other aquatic organisms can‘t distinguish these tiny plastic particles from their actual food. This is how synthetic fibres from our clothes end up on our plates and ultimately in our bodies.

With the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag, you can easily prevent this: It reduces fibre shedding during washing thereby protecting your clothes, and it reliably filters microplastic fibres out before they pollute water. Thumbs up! That’s good for you, your clothes and the environment.
