R5 Kit STOP PLASTIC is our "Plastic Free" product kit for clean laundry without microplastics. In fact,it contains our detergent sheets for hand and machine washing and the GUPPYFRIEND laundry and environment protection bag, capable of capturing the microplastics released from synthetic fabrics during washing.

Kit includes:

1 R5 Detergent in Soluble Sheets - 16 sheets x 32 washes (find out how to use them and composition and warnings here)
1 GUPPYFRIEND laundry and environment protection bag®

What is the GUPPYFRIEND bag?®

The GUPYYFRIEND wash bag is a scientifically proven and patented solution against microplastic fiber pollution during washing and the only one that protects clothes and the environment.

The GUPPYFRIEND washing bag® significantly reduces fiber breakage. Clothes are protected and can be worn longer.

It holds broken plastic fibers and does not lose any fibers.

How to use GUPPYFRIEND®

Follow the steps below to get the most out of your GUPPYFRIEND bag®

1. Fill

Place the synthetic garments to be washed in the GUPPYFRIEND bag®.

Fill to about ⅔ of the bag, so that the fabrics can move easily.

2. Close and Wash

Close the GUPPYFRIEND® bag and put it directly into the washing machine.
Add additional non-synthetic clothing or a second full GUPPYFRIEND® to avoid imbalance. Wash as usual at 40°c maximum
Use respectful detergents.
Remove coarse dirt and pet hair before washing
Slide the zipper into the guide at the end of the zipper.

The bag does not hold dissolved substances, nanoparticles or dust particles

You can download the guide here.

3. Download and Empty

Empty the washer, remove the items from the GUPPYFRIEND® while they are still wet.

4. Remove and Relax

Remove the collected fibers from inside the filter fabric by hand and dispose of them in undifferentiated waste.
And relax knowing you did the right thing!

5. What to avoid

Avoid rinsing under running water - so that collected microplastic fibers are not washed into the environment
Avoid washing items with sharp edges - to avoid damaging the material
Avoid ironing - this can also damage the material (wrinkled surface is not a problem)
Avoid using in the dryer - broken fibers can come out of the bag
Avoid hanging/drying in direct sunlight - to avoid damaging the material

THE GUIDE OF STOP! MICRO WASTE

#1 AVOID CLOTHES THAT CONTAIN PLASTICS!
BUY LESS BUT BETTER!

Think about what you really need before you buy. Check the label and avoid synthetic fabrics such as polyester, acrylic and nylon. Be critical of misleading advertising. Also ask your local store and favorite brand about microfiber-free alternatives. They need to know you care.

#2 STAY COOL!
WASH COLD!

There are some habits that it's just about time to change: washing color garments at 40°C and bedding at 60°C is just the thing to change. In the vast majority of cases, 30°C is sufficient. Water in combination with heat weakens the yarn. The so-called hydrolysis causes much more plastic to end up in our oceans.

#3 WASH LESS!

Air out your clothes and wash stains by hand to avoid unnecessary washing. Don't let convenience harm marine life and our health.

#4 NO SPIN!
REDUCE ROTATION SPEED!

A lot of friction happens during the spin cycle. Synthetic fabrics dry quickly. Skip the spin cycle or at least reduce the RPM (rotation per minute) to protect your clothes and the environment.

#5 NO SHOES!
DON'T WASH SOLID ITEMS WITH LAUNDRY!

The fibers break down due to the mechanical forces of the washing machine. Anything solid washed with your clothes leads to significantly more fibers breaking down. Avoid items like shoes and shin guards. Even the use of wash balls and soap nuts - even if used with good intentions - lead to more plastic in the ocean

#6 LIGHT WITH LIGHT! SOFT WITH SOFT.
SEPARATE FABRICS WITH HARD ANDSOFT SURFACES!

Related to the previous rule and based on the same insight: Separate fabrics with a hard surface from those with a soft surface. If you stop washing things like jeans and your fleece items in the same wash load, you'll reduce your contribution to wash-related microplastic pollution.

#7 KIDS DON'T DRY!
DON'T DRY CLOTHES INA DRYER!

The heat and mechanical forces inside a dryer are also culprits in microplastic pollution. Synthetic clothes dry very quickly anyway. Air dry your clothes. If you must use a dryer, be sure to filter out the condensation water.

#8 BE FAST!
WASH LONGER!

The longer you wash, the more the fibers break down. All washing machines have a short wash program. Use.

#9 GREEN DETERGENTS!
USE LESS AND BETTER DETERGENT!

Look for a detergent with a neutral ph value and no bleach.

#10 USE A FILTER AND GUPPYFRIEND WASHING BAG!

Filter your wastewater: Build a filter for the outlet of your washing machine. Use Guppyfriend. It keeps microfibers from entering the oceans. Using it causes fewer fibers to break down, thus extending the life of your fabrics. Fibers that do break down are reliably retained.
