This is what a full cartridge holds back.
Every grey strand is plastic that would otherwise have gone down the drain. When a cartridge is full, you send it back for free and we recycle the fibres instead of letting them reach the sea.

Before you order
Will it fit my washing machine?
Yes. PlanetCare sits between your washing machine's drain hose and your drain, so it works with practically every machine, front or top loading.
Does it slow down the wash?
No. It runs on the machine's own pump, and an automatic bypass keeps water flowing if a cartridge is full.
How often do I change the cartridge?
About every 30 washes, depending on what you wash. The bypass indicator tells you when it's time.
What happens to used cartridges?
You send them back to us for free. We clean and reuse the cartridge and recycle the fibres.
What is Auto-Refill?
An optional subscription from €7.50 a month: fresh cartridges arrive when you return the full ones. Available worldwide.
