Most of the clothes we wear today have some blend of synthetic fibers that degrade ever so slightly when washed. These microscopic fibers mix in the water and get dumped down the drain, making their way into our oceans, and then into our body through seafood and even salt. Microplastics have reached parts of the body we never thought possible before, like our brain, our reproductive organs, and even fetuses through the placenta. It sounds scary (and it somewhat is), but the folks behind PLANETCARE 2.0 have a simple solution \u2013 a microfiber filter attachment for your washing machine.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: Miha Vrhovec and Lenche Gjorjioski<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/planetcare\/planetcare-20-microfiber-filter-with-a-true-recycle-plan?ref=cnb3dx\"><strong>Click Here to Buy Now: $62<\/strong><\/a> <del datetime=\"2023-10-01T10:21:38+00:00\">$95<\/del> (35% off).

An estimated 700,000 tiny fibers shred from your clothes with each wash cycle. Depending on the fabrics you wear, these fibers will include natural materials like cotton, denim, wool, and silk, but also synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and other fabric blends found in most clothes. PLANETCARE 2.0 catches up to 98% of these microfibers (both natural and synthetic), preventing them from getting carried into our waterways. The result indirectly benefits you, but directly benefits our planet, nature, and the delicate ecosystem of life on Earth. While we can\u2019t easily remove existing microplastics in the world around us, we can easily prevent more microplastics from being added to it.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/planetcare\/planetcare-20-microfiber-filter-with-a-true-recycle-plan?ref=cnb3dx\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/042\/106\/126\/fcde134f077f7d68116ae815e687dd7c_original.gif?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;w=680&amp;fit=max&amp;v=1693295207&amp;gif-q=50&amp;q=92&amp;s=242393b11f36da9ba6eae26893307818\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/10\/01\/your-washing-machine-is-polluting-the-ocean-with-microplastics-this-modular-filter-hopes-to-stop-that\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Your Washing Machine is Polluting the Ocean with Microplastics.

Plug the device into your washing machine and its microfiber filter traps up to 98% of all microscopic fibers in the drain water, without using any electricity. Once the filter reaches its maximum capacity, it pops up to reveal a red-colored ring, letting you know that it\u2019s time to swap out the old filter for a new one. Just take the old filter cartridge out and add a new one in like you would replace batteries on your TV remote. The old filter cartridge can be sent back to the folks at PLANETCARE, who reuse 95% of the cartridge and recycle the remaining 5%, ensuring absolutely zero wastage. The entire circular economy around the filter tackles the microplastic problem on a systemic level, so that you\u2019re not just passing the buck onto the next guy. You\u2019re part of an honest movement to ensure plastics never enter our environment and our bodies again.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/planetcare\/planetcare-20-microfiber-filter-with-a-true-recycle-plan?ref=cnb3dx\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/10\/your-washing-machine-is-polluting-the-ocean-with-microplastics-this-modular-filter-hopes-to-stop-that\/this_modular_design_filters_98_of_microplastics_from_your_laundry_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1520\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/10\/01\/your-washing-machine-is-polluting-the-ocean-with-microplastics-this-modular-filter-hopes-to-stop-that\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Your Washing Machine is Polluting the Ocean with Microplastics.
