60% Of the microplastics in our wastewater may come from doing our laundry, because the fibers come off during washing and drying. You can avoid this by:

• Clothing: buy sustainable clothing and pay attention to the textiles used
  • • Pure cotton, silk, linen: does not contain plastics
    • Acrylic, polyester blends do contain plastics
• Doing laundry:
  • • Use a ball that attracts microfibers
    • Wash synthetic clothing in a filter bag
    • Install a filter at your water system at home if possible
