PlanetCare Filter

For a Microplastic-Free Planet

Share: FB TW

How to take care of the environment and save our planet from microplastic? PlanetCare filter is a solution to this problem, introduced in 2017. Its job is to improve the water quality significantly. It is thus far the only known filter to prevent microfibers from leaving the washing machine together with its waste and end up in our environment. 

The filter is an innovative product that retains microplastic particles formed during laundry. It relies on a sustainable concept of environmental protection, as it retains 90 per cent of the microplastics that would otherwise end up in the seas. PlanetCare is also the only company that provides a cyclical service - it restores all used cartridges and returns them for reuse. The number 1.5 million tons of microplastic that end up in the seas every year is undoubtedly horrifying. More than a third of this amount is the particles from our washing machines. These are harmful to the environment and our health as they end up in the food chain.

The PlanetCare filter community has already prevented the disposal of so much microplastic that could fill 50,000 bags from ending up in the oceans. Furthermore, the company and its customers managed to persuade lawmakers to install filters in all washing machines. In France, the filter will be installed in every washing machine from 2025 onwards.
