Detergent without microplastics - what to look out for
Many detergents contain microplastics, which enter our environment via wastewater. Learn how to avoid microplastics and which alternatives truly clean effectively.
You want to wash clean - but without harming the environment? Then you should take a closer look: Many conventional detergents contain microplastics - invisible to the eye, but dangerous for our waters.
What many people don't know: Even liquid products that look "natural" often contain plastic compounds that do not degrade. Here you can find out what to look out for - and how to protect the environment when washing.

Do not biodegrade - remain in the environment for decades
How do microplastics get into detergents?

As fillers, binders, or to prolong fragrance
-
Often declared as polyquaternium, acrylates, PEG, polymers

Rinsed directly into wastewater during washing
