You can also send the used cartridges back to us and we'll forward them to PlanetCare. They will ensure that they are reused or recycled. This ‘closed loop’ system ensures that there is minimum wastage throughout the whole process.

Did you know that if you wash your clothes without a filter, you release an equivalent of one plastic bag per week into the ocean?
When you wash your synthetic clothing in your washing machine, tens of thousands of microfibers go out with the wastewater in each load. Recent research also proves that we are eating and drinking plastic and that plastic fibers are even present in rain.
Every year, over a million tons of microplastics end up in oceans. Our washing machines are a major source of this plastic pollution. Researchers found that an average 6 kg load of laundry releases more than 700,000 microscopic plastic fibers into wastewater. These plastic fibers come from synthetic (= plastic) textiles like polyester. Synthetic textiles have become a staple in our wardrobes: today, over 60% of textiles are synthetic. This, too, has opened the door for microplastic to pollute every corner of the Earth.
By using a PlanetCare microfiber filter kit, you’re helping reduce this pollution. So why stop when the cartridges in your starter kit run out? Replenish them using our 12 pack of microfiber filter cartridge refills! So, you’ll continue doing great things for the planet and your health every time you do the washing!
The PlanetCare washing machine filter is the first and only solution that stops 90% of microfibers and takes care of the whole cycle for a completely closed loop.
