Did you know synthetic fabrics such as poylester, nylon, acrylic, PVC, and rayon shed microplastics, especially when being washed. It is estimated that we release approximately 4kg of microplastics per person per year into the environment via various means. Every time synthetic clothes are washed, countless microfibers are released into the water and make their way into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Once in the environment, they are consumed by aquatic organisms, which can result in gastrointestinal infections and blockages, reproductive problems, and starvation. The tiny plastic fragments threaten our own health too as they enter our diet and our bodies through the food chain. Alarmingly, microplastics are thought to be present in virtually everything we consume. They’ve been detected in human placentas, our bloodstream and our organs.
With the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag, you can help prevent the release of microplastics into our waterways. The Guppyfriend reduces fibres shedding during washing thereby protecting your clothes, and it reliably filters microplastic fibres out before they pollute water.
