Stopping Microplastic Pollution in Professional Laundry

Stopping Microplastic Pollution in Professional Laundry

Professional laundries, hotels, municipalities, textile service providers, and businesses wash large volumes of synthetic textiles, releasing significant amounts of microfibers in the process. With the right solutions, these emissions can be drastically reduced and, over time, largely prevented. Leading textile care companies and professional sports clubs are already using our systems successfully today.

External Filters

Our external filtration systems capture microfibers directly within the professional washing process and right at the source, where the largest amounts are generated and where microplastic can still be effectively stopped. They can be easily retrofitted into existing installations, operate reliably during ongoing use, and reduce microplastic emissions without disrupting workflows.

Washing Bag

The GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag prevents microfibers from synthetic textiles from entering wastewater. It protects garments, reduces fiber breakage, and offers a simple, ready‑to‑use solution for businesses aiming to minimize microplastic directly at the source.

Detergent

Our microplastic‑free detergent reduces fiber shedding during the wash cycle and prevents additional plastics from entering wastewater. It is based on natural rapeseed oil soap instead of palm oil, delivers strong cleaning performance at low dosage, and is ideal for businesses looking to make their laundry processes even more environmentally friendly, without compromising cleaning results.

Why Microplastics From Laundry Are a Problem

Why Microplastics From Laundry Are a Problem

In professional laundry processes, large amounts of synthetic microfibers are released during every wash cycle, for example from workwear, sports textiles, and technical fabrics. High washing frequencies, large drum volumes, and heavily used textiles significantly contribute to microplastic pollution.

For laundries, sports clubs, hotels, and businesses, our microplastic solutions offer a way to make operations more sustainable and to meet important environmental and sustainability targets.
