Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5 mm. Most microplastics are much smaller and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Microplastics are a big and pervasive problem for our rivers and seas. Every time we wash clothes in the washing machine, millions of plastic fibers (microplastics) are worn off and released into our marine environment with the waste water. Treatment plants cannot retain the small particles in the waste water that end up in the sea. Microplastics are so small that fish and other marine animals can mistake them for food. It looks like plankton and can therefore easily end up in the stomach of an animal.

Guppyfriend Washing Bag is an easy and practical solution to prevent microplastics from ending up in our rivers and seas. Its soft surface results in less fiber breakage and thus also extends the life of your clothes. Microplastics that are released during washing are caught in the bag. The bag itself does not emit any microplastics.

That is how it works:

1. Place synthetic textiles in the Guppyfriend laundry bag.


2. Close the laundry bag and place it in the washing machine. Add other, non-synthetic, textile and wash as normal.


3. Take the textiles out of the Guppyfriend laundry bag while they are still wet.

Remove the collected fibers from the inside of the filter cloth by hand and dispose of them in the remaining waste.
