Beskrivelse Beskrivelse

Microplastic released from washing harms the environment.

With each wash, countless microfibers from synthetic textiles make their way from washing machines into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Once in the environment, the microfibers concentrate pervasive bacteria and pollutants. They are consumed by aquatic organisms, which can result in gastrointestinal infections and blockages, reproductive problems, and starvation.

Serious consequences are not limited to animals and nature. The tiny plastic fragments threaten our own health: They enter our food and our bodies through the food chain.

The Guppyfriend Washing Bag is an effective, scientifically proven, and patented solution to stop microplastic pollution.

It reduces fiber shedding and protects our clothes.

It filters the microfibers that do break and doesn’t lose any fibers itself.

It’s a daily reminder to change our buying habits and washing rituals.

At what temperatures can I wash? At what temperatures can I wash?

GUPPYFRIEND has tested the Washing Bag at temperatures up to 40°C, so we recommend keeping your wash at 40°C or below.

Washing at lower temperatures is also a kinder choice for your clothes, helping them stay in good condition for longer while using less energy. For more advice, explore the GUPPYFRIEND washing guide.

How do I dispose of the collected microfibres? How do I dispose of the collected microfibres?

Remove the collected microfibres from the bag and place them in a closed container before disposing of them with your general household waste. Keeping the fibres contained helps prevent these tiny, lightweight particles from escaping back into the environment during waste collection.

Please don’t place microfibres in your recycling bin, as they cannot be recycled.

How does it work and who tested it? How does it work and who tested it?

The GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag prevents fibre loss during washing in two ways:

1. The GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag drastically reduces the number of fibres that break off.

Tests by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT showed on average:

a) 79% with partly synthetic clothes

b) 86% with completely synthetic clothing. Thus, the clothing can be worn much longer.

2. In addition to being gentle on clothing, broken plastic fibers are also retained.This results in the Guppyfriend Wash Bag reducing microplastic fiber pollution by over 90%, mostly close to 100%.

Other test results:

• No toxic residues were found on the product.

• The bags can withstand 50 household washes according to ISO 6330 without damage and do not release any microplastic particles into the water themselves (Note: when used correctly, the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag can also be used beyond the tested number of 50 washes).

• Cleanliness after washing: Blood, ketchup and chocolate are washed out without any problems. The washing effect of skin grease and clay is sufficient.

• The number of broken fibres depends on the washing conditions and the clothes themselves.

In summary: The GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag significantly reduces fibre breakage. The fibres that break off during washing are retained in the bag. The clothes become clean and - if the wash bag is used correctly - it can be used for a long time to keep microplastics out of our rivers and oceans.
