Description
A grey mesh replacement washing machine filter, made of 98% recycled materials, designed to filter out microplastics to prevent pollution entering the water system. In 2021, Grundig launched the first integrated microfibre filter. Washing machines with the FiberCatcher technology catch up to 90% of microfibres during specific synthetic wash cycles, this ensures only synthetic fibres are caught. The filter is located in the detergent drawer of specifically designed washing machines where the used water passes through. It is activated only when the synthetic wash cycles are selected. The filter is designed to last up to 6 months. Once the filter is full and has dried out it can be returned to Grundig to be recycled. It would not be possible to recycle in the household recycling. The FiberCatcher filter should be used with liquid or capsule detergent as powder detergent may block the filter or reduce its lifespan.
