I was today years old when I learned that 35% of the ocean’s microplastic problem comes from washing machines. Most of the clothes we wear today have some blend of synthetic fibers that degrade ever so slightly when washed. These microscopic fibers mix in the water and get dumped down the drain, making their way into our oceans, and then into our body through seafood and even salt. Microplastics have reached parts of the body we never thought possible before, like our brain, our reproductive organs, and even fetuses through the placenta. It sounds scary (and it somewhat is), but the folks behind PLANETCARE 2.0 have a simple solution – a microfiber filter attachment for your washing machine.

Simply put, PLANETCARE 2.0 is a nifty filter that snaps to the side of your washing machine, filtering all the water the machine drains out after a cycle. Think of the PLANETCARE 2.0 as the water equivalent of you sorting your trash. You wouldn’t throw recyclables along with food waste, would you? So why would you dump microplastics out with your water?

Scientifically Proven – The only microfiber filter that truly stops 98% of fibers.

Tested by 7000+ Users – Their first-generation filter is used by more than 7000 users providing valuable feedback.

Easy to Install – Takes only 10 minutes to install the filter and a minute to change the filter cartridge.

Designed to easily attach to your washing machine in a matter of 10 minutes (you can assemble it yourself without calling a plumber), PLANETCARE 2.0 catches all the microplastics from your washing machine’s drain water, ensuring they never make it to the ocean. An estimated 700,000 tiny fibers shred from your clothes with each wash cycle. Depending on the fabrics you wear, these fibers will include natural materials like cotton, denim, wool, and silk, but also synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and other fabric blends found in most clothes. PLANETCARE 2.0 catches up to 98% of these microfibers (both natural and synthetic), preventing them from getting carried into our waterways. The result indirectly benefits you, but directly benefits our planet, nature, and the delicate ecosystem of life on Earth. While we can’t easily remove existing microplastics in the world around us, we can easily prevent more microplastics from being added to it.

The PLANETCARE 2.0 is a rather cleverly designed product that tackles the microplastic problem on a whole systemic level. Plug the device into your washing machine and its microfiber filter traps up to 98% of all microscopic fibers in the drain water, without using any electricity. Once the filter reaches its maximum capacity, it pops up to reveal a red-colored ring, letting you know that it’s time to swap out the old filter for a new one. Just take the old filter cartridge out and add a new one in like you would replace batteries on your TV remote. The old filter cartridge can be sent back to the folks at PLANETCARE, who reuse 95% of the cartridge and recycle the remaining 5%, ensuring absolutely zero wastage. The entire circular economy around the filter tackles the microplastic problem on a systemic level, so that you’re not just passing the buck onto the next guy. You’re part of an honest movement to ensure plastics never enter our environment and our bodies again.

First-timers can grab their PLANETCARE 2.0 starter kit for just $62, which includes the device itself along with 3 filter cartridges and a spare drain hose. If you’re a part of the 7000+ users currently using the 1st gen Planetcare filter, you can upgrade to the v2.0 device for $31, with global shipping in December 2023 so you can begin the new year on an eco-friendly note!

In a world where access to clean drinking water is an essential necessity, Mexican company Ecofiltro has emerged as a beacon of innovation and sustainability. Dedicated to providing affordable and effective water filtration solutions for households across the country, Ecofiltro has introduced a remarkable product that merges age-old tradition with cutting-edge technology. The Ecofiltro Ecological Stackable Water Filter, a conical wonder that filters water through the force of gravity, is not just a filtration device; it’s a testament to the power of nature-inspired design and ingenuity.

Designer: NOS Design

At the core of Ecofiltro’s revolutionary water filtration technology lies a clever concoction of activated charcoal, clay, and colloidal silver. This unique blend forms the bedrock of a purification process that goes beyond mere water cleansing, tapping into the wisdom of ancient practices and scientific understanding. Clay pots were very commonly used in the Indian tradition to store water. Drinking water through a clay pot has been a very old Indian tradition. It has various natural cooling properties, It is alkaline in nature, helps boost metabolism, is gentle on the throat and it also helps retain PH levels in our body, keeping digestive problems, acidity, or gastric problems away and we feel more hydrated and fresh. Clay Bottles are environment friendly and it’s a great initiative to keep them in trend with the contemporary world. Here’s a closer look at the components that make this filtration marvel a reality:

Activated Charcoal:

The Ecological Stackable Water Filter employs activated charcoal’s potent adsorption process, which chemically binds impurities to its surface. This process distinguishes adsorption from absorption, resulting in the thorough removal of contaminants such as bacteria, chlorine, lead particles, and unpleasant odors.

Clay:

Harkening back to the age-old Indian tradition of using clay pots for drinking water, this filter pays homage to the manifold benefits of clay. The filtration process through clay imparts a natural cooling effect and alkaline properties that can aid metabolism, maintain optimal pH levels in the body, and keep digestive and gastric issues at bay. Moreover, water stored in clay containers often carries a distinct sweetness attributed to the minerals present in the material.

Colloidal Silver:

The addition of colloidal silver infuses the filter with antibacterial properties, preventing the growth of bacteria and algae within the filtration system. This ensures that the filtered water remains safe and free from potential contaminants.

Ecofiltro seamlessly blends the richness of cultural heritage with contemporary aesthetics through the design of the Ecological Stackable Water Filter. The culmination of meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful engineering results in a product that embodies both form and function:

The filter’s conical shape is expertly molded from natural materials, bypassing the need for chemicals or electricity. The filter is offered in three elegant finishes—Light Amber, Pure White, and Vibrant Blue—that cater to diverse preferences while seamlessly integrating into modern kitchens.

Ecofiltro’s design philosophy is evident in the filter’s transparent construction, which showcases the mesmerizing filtration process. A textured surface creates captivating light patterns, guiding the water’s journey from a circular inlet at the top to an elliptical base that optimizes countertop space.

Practicality is paramount, and Ecofiltro has carefully considered stackability, ease of cleaning, and manufacturability in its design. The inclusion of a steel key for dispensing water further enhances user convenience, making the filter a seamless and effortless addition to daily life.

Ecofiltro’s commitment to sustainability and accessibility underscores the core philosophy of the Ecological Stackable Water Filter. With a focus on ecological responsibility, minimal electricity dependence, and stackable design, the company demonstrates its dedication to minimizing environmental impact while making clean water accessible to a wider spectrum of individuals.

The Ecological Stackable Water Filter from Ecofiltro represents a harmonious convergence of time-honored traditions and modern ingenuity. Through the symbiotic blend of activated charcoal, clay, and colloidal silver, this innovative filtration solution not only purifies water but also encapsulates the essence of ancient practices that prioritize health and well-being. With its captivating design, steadfast commitment to sustainability, and affordability, Ecofiltro has achieved the remarkable feat of turning a functional necessity into a symbol of innovation, care, and optimism for a more sustainable future.
