One thing to watch out for is what happens to this stuff when you wash it. Yes it contaminates the environment with micro plastics.

One solution is to use a special bag to capture and filter them out. [1]

Oops. Damn.

But that's an issue with all synthetic clothing, right?

I guess that making bottles and sheeting would be best.


I think nylon jackets etc are ok, like the hard shell ski jackets etc. It’s more just and issue with soft fleece type stuff I believe.

Patagonia has some information about it on their site somewhere, they also stock the guppy friend bags.


I forgot to mention, I use one, it picks up quite a lot of lint.
