when washing synthetic clothes, plastic fibres break and are released into the wastewater. neither washing machines nor sewage treatment plants can filter out these tiny microfibres. once in our rivers and oceans, they concentrate bacteria and toxins. the microplastic fibres are not only a threat to animals and nature. they eventually end up in the food chain and can cause serious consequences for our health.
the GUPPYFRIEND WASHING BAG is a scientifically proven, pragmatic solution for filtering the smallest plastic fibres that are released from any clothes with synthetic fibres. it reduces friction on the surface of textiles and thus prevents fibres from breaking. the fibres that still do break accumulate in the corners of the bag. they can be disposed of properly after washing and do not end up in rivers and oceans. THE GUPPYFRIEND WASHING BAG extends the life of your clothes while protecting our environment.
