Microplastic Catching Laundry Wash & Travel Bag
The Perfect Laundry Wash Bag Does Exist
Wash smarter, not harder—with the microplastic-catching laundry bag.
Designed to reduce pollution and protect our waterways, this innovative bag captures microplastic fibres shed from synthetic clothing during washing. It’s a simple, effective way to minimise your environmental impact—while giving your delicates and activewear the care they deserve. I created this bag to make sustainable laundry effortless, whether at home or on the go, without compromising on performance or garment protection.

Protect your delicate items from damage during washing and prevent small items from getting lost or tangled in the washing machine.
Why I Made the Bag: Balancing Sustainability and Performance
In order to offer you high-quality textile products fit for the job, I had to use some petroleum-based fibers. I tested several versions of my products made with all-natural fibers, but these products didn't last as long, making them less environmentally friendly. The synthetic version proved superior in durability and overall performance.
As much as I believe in reducing plastic use, I still think it has its place when used responsibly. That's why I invented the microplastic-catching laundry bag you see before you. It allows us to enjoy the benefits of synthetic textile products without the harm of microplastics shedding during washing and reaching our waterways and oceans.
PROTECT THE OCEANS
When polyester, nylon, and other synthetic materials are washed, thousands of microfibers are released into the waterways, eventually reaching the ocean. The laundry wash bag is constructed with a mesh that captures these microplastics, preventing them from escaping during washing. Simply place your clothes inside the laundry wash bag, put it in your machine, and wash as normal.
MAKING THE LAUNDRY BAG
In order to create microplastic laundry bag, I collaborated with a factory that specializes in making industrial filters for large machines. I designed every component of the bag using the same material, a monofilament nylon, to ensure that the bag does not shed microfibers during the washing process.
PROTECT YOUR CLOTHES
Protect your delicate items from damage during washing. Keep your clothes looking newer for longer by reducing shedding and piling, and prevent small items from getting lost or tangled in the washing machine.
Simply place your synthetic clothes into the bag and add a washing machine tablet if you use one; otherwise, place detergent in the drawer. Zip up the laundry bag, place it in the machine, and wash as normal. Other laundry can be placed into the machine alongside the bag if needed.
Yes, over time, the bag will collect the fibers as they shed from your clothing. These fibers can be found in the seams of the bag, especially along the top band and in the corners.
The microfibres can be placed in your general waste bin, preferably in a sealed bag or container so they don't blow away.
Some local recycling facilities now accept textiles for recycling. If not, you can send it to me, and I will recycle it for you. Check the link below to get 15% off your next order.
Customer Reviews
I have been concerned about microplastics from washing synthetic clothing especially as we recycle our grey water into the vegetable garden. This is great solution- large, sturdy, easy to use. Thanks so much for the thought and work Scott!
