The Guppyfriend Washing Bag is the first scientifically approved solution to prevent microfibers from entering into rivers and oceans. With each wash, countless plastic fibers from synthetic textiles are making their way from washing machines into rivers and oceans... and ultimately into our diet.
The Guppyfriend Washing Bag is a patented solution, that filters out the tiniest microfibers released from textiles during washing. The self-cleaning fabric bag is made of a specially designed micro-filter material. Using Guppyfriend Washing Bag results in fewer fiber losses and thus helps your garments last longer. Those microfibers that break during washing are captured inside the bag. Simply collect the fibers and dispose them of properly.
Why we like it:- It's a pragmatic solution for a big problem.
- It’s a daily reminder to change our buying habits and washing rituals for a healthier environment and a better world
- Easy to use!
- All profits from the sale of the Guppyfriend Washing Bag go to STOP! Micro Waste and the STOP! Plastic Academy to raise awareness about (micro)plastic pollution and to educate students, adults and industry partners about the problem.
- STOP! Micro Waste is a nonprofit initiative to explore and initiate ideas on how to avoid, replace and re-use plastics. It was initiated by LANGBRETT, a group of surfers and nature lovers.
- Guppyfriend Washing Bag
- Pack of 1 bag
- Dimensions: standard size 50 x 74 cm
- Materials: polyamide 6.6. The material is untreated, undyed, and does not contain any additives. It’s pure and can even be used in a medical context.
- How to use: Fill the bag up to 2/3 (the textiles need to move inside the bag). Wash your clothes as usual. Please follow the application instructions. Take out your wet textiles after washing.
- How to clean the bag: Just take out the released microfibers on a regular basis. The bag is self-cleaning. Do not rinse the bag under running water.
- The bag was tested for a period of three years by scientific institutes, universities, retailers and representatives of the outdoor- and fashion industry. Mainly, it was with the following scientific and independent institutes: German Textile Research Institute DTNW, Fraunhofer Institut UMSICHT, University of California in Santa Barbara as part of a Patagonia research program.
- As part of a test program, the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT has confirmed that the Guppyfriend washing bag not only reliably retains the breaking microfibers, but also protects the textiles. Compared to washing without the Guppyfriend Washing Bag, on average 86% less fibers break off synthetic textiles.
- Most PFCs used to impregnate textiles are water-soluble. Thus, they can not be filtered. If possible, always buy clothes without PFCs.
