Use a Guppyfriend Bag in your laundry
Microfibres released from washing harm the environment. With each wash, plastic fibres from synthetic textiles are making their way from washing machines into rivers and oceans. Guppyfriend Bag can be used in your laundry to catch broken fibres.
Up to 700,000 fibres are estimated to be shed from an average 6 kg load whilst they are being washed.
