Isn't the ocean the most beautiful place to be?
Did you know that 49% of all liquid laundry detergents, and about 77% of powder laundry detergents, contain micro-plastics? These are mostly based on petrol and obviously not biodegradable.
Synthetic polymers, the most common form of microplastics, are used in laundry detergent. They reduce the foam and ensure the dirt is eliminated more efficiently.
What are microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny fragments of any type of plastic, smaller than 5 mm.
Why are microplastics so dangerous?
They are indigestible and non-biodegradable. They can break down into molecules, but it takes hundreds or thousands of years for them to decompose, and in the meantime, they harm the environment.
In case you wonder, if there is anything you can do?
- Make better choices – choose refillable glass containers instead of plastic containers.
- Check ingredients - many cosmetic products, including shampoo and conditioner, contain microplastics.
- Try to avoid buying synthetic clothes – with each wash, the clothes shed microplastic fibers that end up in wastewater and, ultimately, the sea.
These are just a few things you can do. Check out our article about how to reduce your plastic consumption for more inspiration.
