Product Description
This washing bag, crafted from untreated nylon, offers a practical and environmentally conscious solution to the issue of synthetic microfibers polluting our rivers and oceans. During each laundry cycle, minuscule fragments of clothing fibers are released and make their way into waterways and seas, too tiny for sewage treatment facilities to properly remove. Once in the environment, these fibers are ingested by aquatic creatures, causing a range of health issues such as gastrointestinal infections, reproductive complications, starvation, and even death. These concerns eventually affect the entire food chain.
The Guppyfriend bag captures micro fibres and hinders them from making their way into the marine ecosystem. After a while you can peel out a ball of fibres and discard it in the plastic recycling bin.
Due to Its soft surface, it also results in less fibre loss which protects your garments thus extending their lifetime as well as being a daily reminder to wash less and to buy better - something we can all do to make a difference.
Plastic pollution in the oceans is one of the biggest environmental issues of our time, and the Guppyfriend is a great option for everyone who wants to do their bit to prevent plastic emissions and promote environmental friendly living.

About GuppyFriend
Great strides are being made to bring down our planet’s plastic emissions, but more needs to be done. Even without plastic bags and cups ending up the ocean, we still unknowingly pollute the environment with microscopic types of waste plastic.
Microbeads have now been banned, but the same problems arise when talking about micro fibres. Synthetic plastic fibres shed from clothes after every wash and these fibres cannot be filtered out, so they’re washed away with the rest of the water and cause untold harm to the environment.
The GuppyFriend Washing Bag is designed to combat this issue by letting you wash your clothes as normal while trapping those loose fibres. GuppyFriend are aiming to drastically reduce our level of micro fibre waste with a specially-designed mesh that catches the micro fibres and stores them in the crevices in the bag; ready to remove and dispose of correctly.
Anyone who wants to lower their level of everyday plastic waste emissions should give GuppyFriend a try.
