As a family we are very aware of the amount of microfibres that we flush down our water ways every time we wash our clothes - we are so aware that we have made a DIY filter to try and minimise the amount we contribute to the flow of micro and nano plastics that enters our rivers and ultimately our oceans (but our DIY filter is a story for another time). Anyway, we are really happy that there are company's trying to reduce this problem on a bigger scale i.e commercially. When we heard about Filtrol - and their filters to capture microfibres from washing machines - we felt that we just had to tell others about it. Take a look at this infographic and see what you think.
