The Guppyfriend wash bag is the first practical way to prevent microfibers from entering into rivers and oceans.
Synthetic textiles release microplastics when washed. Neither washing machines nor wastewater treatment plants are able to filter the tiny plastic particles out. These microfibers released from washing harm the environment: aquatic organisms consume the microplastic particles, which work their way up the food chain and ultimately end up in our daily diet. To put things into context, a city the size of Berlin releases a wash-related volume of microfibers equivalent to approximately 500,000 plastic bags – every single day.
The Guppyfriend Wash Bag is a scientifically approved solution against microplastic pollution from washing. Made from polyamide 6.6 (bar the zip), the soft surface of the bag results in fewer fibre losses. When washing synthetic clothes inside the Guppyfriend, the microfibers that usually break and drain away are instead captured inside the bag. It also helps your garments last longer; compared to washing without the Guppyfriend, 86% fewer fibres shed from synthetic textiles.
Easy to use, simply place your laundry inside the bag and wash as usual – the standard colour rules still apply though, so keep your lights and darks separate!
