PlanetCare Microfibre Filter Starter Kit

Sustainable

Sustainable

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 microfibres go out with the wastewater in each load.

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. 

With this clever microfibre filter kit, you can help reduce this pollution. So, every time you filter water when doing laundry, you’re doing something good for the planet and your health.  

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.  

Please note these are the original type of filters. Planetcare have developed a Mark Two which includes a bypass valve for washing natural materials. We've still got the Mark One in stock so we are selling this off at half price. It still does a great job! The cartridges are compatible with both.

great filter

So easy to install, we often wash twice a week and knowing that we are helping the oceans by removing micro-fibres is very important to us.

Easy to use, long-lasting

I was concerned it would be difficult to fit but it went in easily. The filters last for ages, maybe I don't do enough laundry but it will take me ages to get through all the cartridges that came with the kit. I try to just buy clothes made of sustainable fabrics but you can't help having some synthetic fabrics in there and it's good to know I'm not responsible for microfibres washing into the ocean.

An essential product if you care about the not so easily seen pollution we all emit.
