PEOPLE BEHIND PLANETCARE
You know the David vs. Goliath story, right?
Well, our team is David, a small start-up fighting microfiber pollution caused by doing our laundry. 🧺 ⚠️
And then there are some Goliaths around 😳, with massive advertising budgets, overpromising effectiveness results and no users. Go figure...😁
Since 2017 PlanetCare has developed its first integrated microfiber filter for washing machines, its first external, add-on filter, and its first commercial filter (for big-time users). And who are all our Davids behind all this?
Meet the team behind our innovation. PlanetCare filters are the only zero waste filtering solution and these are the passionate people behind it: commited to constant improvements, agile and goal oriented and above all – always there for you!

MOJCA ZUPAN
Founder & CEO
PlanetCare's founder, CEO and heart & soul of the company. Her passion for a cleaner environment doesn't let her stop for a minute and the planet without her would be (even more) full with microfibers. A corporate lawyer in her past life, she changed her career after seeing a photo exhibition on marine litter with her kids. Being a mother of three, she sees our responsibility to what kind of planet we leave for the future generations very seriously. And that is pretty much how the PlanetCare filters were born.

Dr. MIHA VRHOVEC
Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
A valuable combination of his engineering degree in electronics and a PhD in robotics was just the right springboard. But if he weren't interested in saving the planet, it would mean nothing. When he is not dealing with science, he enjoys the full connection with nature - snowboarding, mountain biking or mountaineering. Values people who have something meaningful to say and appreciates exactness. IImagine, how wonderfully this translates in his work for our filters. Exactly!

Dr. ANDREJ KRŽAN
Co-Founder & Chief Science Officer
He is our professor/scientist. His whole working career is devoted to sustainability issues of plastics. He is impatient and joined the team to see scientific evidence be used and lead to meaningful positive impact. We appreciate his rather dry sense of humour. And, obviously, he is a cat person.
