CLEANR Stops Microplastic Pollution Before it Starts
With CLEANR, every load of laundry becomes an act of protection, keeping microplastics out of our water, our environment, and our future.
Microplastics are Everywhere
In the World’s Oceans
Microplastics were found in every sample taken during the Ocean Race.
In the Ocean’s Deepest Point
Microplastics have been found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
On the Earth’s Highest Point
Microplastics have been found at the top of Mount Everest.
In Rainfall
“Microplastics from roads, clothing, and oceans get swept into the atmosphere and fall with the rain… It’s much worse than the acid rain problem.”
In Agricultural Soils
“All the common polymer types — PE, polypropylene, polystyrene, and PVC — have been found in agricultural soils.”
In Seafood
“Peer-reviewed study detected microplastics in 180 of 182 samples comprising five types of fish and pink shrimp.”
In Marine Life
“A new investigation examined the stomach and intestines of five Indus River dolphins and found plastic in every single one.”
If unchecked, microplastics will outnumber fish in the ocean by weight by 2050
The #1 Source of Microplastics: Your Laundry
Every load of laundry can release up to millions of microplastics into our waterways.
The washing cycle causes
tiny abrasions in the
clothes, causing millions
of microplastics to break
off from the fabric.

Clothes in the Washing Machine
These particles exit through
the washing machine drain,
slipping past water treatment
plants and entering the
environment. Even the ones
that are caught are used
for fertilizer on our farmlands.

Which Get Sent Down the Drain
Over 60% of today's clothes
are made of plastic, synthetic
fibers that shed into the
water. Even cotton fibers
can be coated in synthetic
additives and toxic dyes.

Shed Microplastics as They are Spun
The microplastics then spread
throughout the water, breaking
down into nanoplastics.

Polluting Our Water
The microplastics and nanoplastics
in the water end up back in our
food, water, and bodies.
