Washing machine microplastic filter starter kit

The Electrolux Microplastic Filter helps reduce the amount of microplastic fibres that enter the laundry wastewater when washing synthetic clothing.

While washing machines alone can't stop synthetic clothing from releasing microplastic fibres, an Electrolux Microplastic Filter can make a significant difference. The filter helps prevent up to 90% of microplastic fibres from synthetic clothing being released and entering laundry wastewater, reducing the environmental impact of microplastics on our oceans and waterways.

*Filtration capacity measured using an internal test method with polycotton and polyester blend materials in the 40°C Synthetics cycle.

For your convenience, the indicator light will turn on when it's time for the Microplastic Filter to be cleaned. If the indicator turns on during a washing cycle, the cycle can be completed, and the Microplastic Filter can be cleaned before the next wash.*

*When indicating it needs cleaning, the Microplastic Filter will be bypassed and no microplastic fibres will be filtered.

Screws are included to install the Microplastic Filter securely to a wall next to the washing machine. There is no need to plug it into an electrical outlet as it is powered by water pressure.

With regular cleaning the Microplastic Filter will continue to perform optimally until it's time to replace the cartridge. It comes with a complimentary cleaning brush. Dispose of the collected microplastic fibres in the proper bin.

At least 50% of all plastic in the Microplastic Filter is from recycled sources.
