The Guppyfriend washing bag collects micro-plastics in clothes from washing machines, preventing them from getting into the sea and eaten by marine life – the plastic particles are too small to be removed by sewage treatment. The fibres are caught in the bag and can be removed and put in the bin. http://guppyfriend.com/en/
