PlanetCare Microfiber Filter is a compact, easy-to-install device that connects to your washing machine to catch microplastics from your laundry.
Each time you wash synthetic clothes, they release tiny plastic fibers (microplastics) that flow out with the water and into our oceans. This filter captures up to 98% of these harmful particles, protecting our water and wildlife.
Install the Filter
Attach the PlanetCare filter to your washing machine in a few simple steps – it takes 10 minues and no tools needed.
Trap Microplastics
During every wash, the filter collects microplastics shed by synthetic fabrics, stopping them before they enter the water system.
Complete closed loop
After up to 30 washes, switch out the cartridge. Send it back to us for recycling, and we’ll upcycle the waste materials into new products.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE USED CARTRIDGES?
PlanetCare collects all used cartridges from all our users free of charge. We then refurbish each and every returned cartridge.
This way, you can rest assured the fibers are out of nature for good, recycled into insulation, concrete reinforcement, or furniture.
Nothing goes to landfills or incinerators.

PlanetCare Quick FAQ

Note: With washer-dryer combos, cartridges may need replacing more often than the usual 30 washes due to higher workload.

No plumber needed!
Installation is easier than assembling IKEA furniture - anyone can do it in about 10 minutes (plus 24 hours for the adhesive to set).
You only need the washing machine drain hose – no hot or cold water inlet connection is needed.
Watch our installation video (HERE) or download our quick-start guide (HERE) for step-by-step instructions. It's truly DIY-friendly!
The filter is incredibly flexible!
Install it outside your washing machine, connected to the drain hose. You can place it:
• On the side or back of your washing machine
• On a nearby cupboard or shelf
• On the wall
• On the floor
• Under a sink
• Anywhere your drain hose can reach
Tight on space? No problem!
The filter is compact, making it perfect for small laundry areas, closets, or tight corners.

Height × Width × Depth:
353 mm × 126 mm × 111 mm

I have previously used a filter from Filtrol which was large and hard to accomodate in my small laundry.
I started by using the self adhesive strip supplied with the unit to mount it on the machine. It didn't inspire confidence but it was convenient. Sure enough, 2 weeks latter the force developed during discharge blast ...

Knowing it captures 98% of microplastics from my laundry water gives me peace of mind that I’m protecting our oceans.

The concept and product are brilliant and unbelievably easy to install. I feel I'm contributing to a sustainable environment with very little effort. I've had our filter since June 2024, and it has performed very well, though I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust the sensitivity so that the bypass indicator pops up when it's time to change ...

I am using this filter at home. We are having around 6 washing cycles a week (9kg load) and it just works perfectly!
Easy to install, easy tu use and easy to replace the cartridge. What else can you wish for?

I've purchased my first filter in 2022 and this year I've bought the new filter for me and my parents because it's simply amazing how it works, it's crazy how much plastic it collects and the new version 2.0 is even easier to use.
I highly recommend this product because the cost for the big service that they give is priceless.

Knowing just how much microplastic that our washing machines pump into our environment, I’ve been looking for years, for a product that would filter the wash-water, so its excellent that someone has finally made one. Its an extremely simple and easy to setup, filter system that’s pretty much plug and play. I feel a hell of a lot better about using my washing machine now.
