Did you know that every time you wash your clothing it is releasing plastic waste in the ocean? This plastic waste is harming our environment as it ends up in our waterways where it is consumed by animals, and ultimately land up in our food supply.
All garments consisting of synthetic fibres shed microfibers however acrylic, nylon and polyester are the main culprits. It’s hard to avoid synthetics in some items like bras or high tech fabrics used in athletic and activewear.
So what’s an eco-conscious gal to do? We want to avoid the release of microfibres and plastic waste into the ocean and prevent it from harming our marine ecosystem but still wash our activewear...
Enter the Guppyfriend™ Washing Bag! The Guppyfriend™ is a very fine mesh bag made from untreated, undyed polyamide. Simply put your synthetic clothing (like activewear) into your Guppyfriend™ before throwing into the washing machine and you’re all set! The bag acts as a filter for even the tiniest microfibers released from textiles during washing. At the end of the wash, collect and dispose of the captured fibres. A small, easy and simple step to reduce your impact on the planet!
This month we are bringing you some amazing activewear pieces to shake off those iso blues. We are also super excited to announce that we are giving one lucky Reluver the chance to win a FREE Guppyfriend™ Washing Bag to responsibly wash their gorgeous garments.
