GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag
When we wash plastic-based tech clothing, the fibers wind up going down the drain and inevitably make their way into the oceans.
Did you know that on average, there are 4 billion plastic microfibers per square kilometer of the deep sea?
The GUPPYFRIEND washing bag helps capture that pollution before it winds up in waterways, where it’s doing serious damage not just to animals, but humans, too.

While you may not equate your workout gear to the plight of the oceans, the reality is that plastic-based workout clothing is creating waves of microplastic pollution. And these microplastics — tiny bits of fibers from tech clothing — are actually turning up in the food chain.
That’s why finding workout clothing that works and uses high levels of natural fibers is key. Icebreaker utilizes a high percentage of naturally antimicrobial wool to create a more sustainable workout experience. Women’s Comet Tights, left, and Men’s Tech Trainer Hybrid Pants, right, are staples for any workout enthusiast’s closet.
