Reusable microfiber filter for your washing machine

“Without the community of people using this product, I’d just be a crazy lady with a prototype filter. But because of them, I have a voice. And the snowball is rolling. France has already brought in some legislation. There’s no stopping it. Especially now with our new filter: stops 98% of fibers, easy for everyone to use.”

The Problem
By washing your clothes, you are releasing about a bag 🛍️ worth of microfibers into oceans 🌊 every week.
Microfibers end up in the environment, enter the food chain, and end up back on our plates 🍽️.
We eat 5 g of microplastics every week. It's as if you ate a credit card 💳.
35% of microplastic pollution in the oceans comes from your home just by doing your laundry
Our Solution
PlanetCare 2.0 microfiber filter attaches to your washing machine and captures microplastics before they enter your drain.
THE MOST POWERFUL FILTERING
The only microfiber filter that stops 98% of fibers during every wash (independently tested).
THE ONLY CLOSED LOOP SERVICE
Filtering the fibers is only the first step! PlanetCare refurbishes all used cartridges.
EASY INSTALLATION IN 10 MINUTES
Install it in 10 minutes to any domestic washing machine.
How does it work?
1.
INSTALL THE FILTER
Fits all washing machines. Quick and easy installation, no need for a plumber.
2.
START FILTERING
Simply use your washing machine as you normally do.
3.
REPLACE THE CARTRIDGE
After 30 washes the cartridge will be full of fibers (yay!) and you’ll need to change it.
4.
RECIEVE NEW CARTRIDGES
When you install the last clean cartridge, simply order new ones online. You can subscribe or buy a refill pack.
PlanetCare Closes the Loop 🔁
Filtering the fibers is only the first step, what happens with the caught fibers is extremely important.
That's why PlanetCare collects all used cartridges from you free of charge 📦 and refurbishes them. 95% of the cartridge (the shell) is washed, fitted with a new filtering medium, and sent back to customers. 5% (the filtering medium with the caught fibers) is collected for recycling ♻️.

Approved by researchers and NGOs. Loved by people worldwide.
"Once you have acknowledged and understood the plastic pollution problem, why would you not want to start with reducing your own contributions to the microplastic problem? The PlanetCare filter is crucial to catching those microplastics which shed when we wash our clothes, and it helps us visualise the issue, because when you remove the used filter the evidence is obvious!"
