At a Glance: The Microplastic Reduction Summary
The Problem: Synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon, acrylic) are “spun plastic.” Every wash releases hundreds of thousands of microplastics that never biodegrade, ending up in our oceans and bodies.

The Science: 2025 research confirms that while natural fibers (cotton, wool) shed more by weight, they are biodegradable. Synthetics are permanent pollutants.

The 3-Step Solution:

Filter Existing Clothes: Use a Guppyfriend Bag for all synthetics to stop 86% of shedding.

Catch the Rest: Toss a Cora Ball into every load to capture loose fibers.

Buy Plastic-Free: Transition your wardrobe to 100% natural brands like Pact (Organic Cotton) and Icebreaker (Merino Wool).
