Eco-friendly washing bags

MICROPLASTIC pollution affects rivers, seas, oceans, even reservoirs, and easy-care man-made fibres such as polyester, acrylic and nylon can make the problem worse. The Guppyfriend Washing Bag (£29.99, lakeland.com) prevents microfibres and microplastic particles getting into the waste water every time we wash our clothes. The protective bag will also help such garments last a little longer, as it gives them a bit of extra care during the washing cycle.
