Catching Microplastics

Around 15% of the microplastics messing with our oceans can be blamed on synthetic fabrics.

Samsung's Less Microfiber Filter, created with Patagonia and Ocean Wise, is a filter for your washing machine. It’s compatible with any manufacturer’s washing machine.

Samsung says the device – currently available in the UK, Europe, Turkey, and South Korea and coming to the U.S. and Canada this year– filters out 98% of microplastics released during the washing process.
