Microfibres (fibres less than 5mm) from textiles are contributing to the global plastic crisis. Every year more than half a million tonnes of microfibres are released into the world's oceans simply from washing our clothes. It is reported that microplastic pollution has increased 10-fold since 2005, with over 171 trillion microplastic particles now floating in our oceans. 

XFilter™ is a washing machine filtration solution designed to be integrated into any brand of domestic washing machine, during its manufacture, to capture the microfibres that our clothes release. 

Located at the top of the washing machine, XFilter works with every wash cycle to capture both synthetic and natural microfibres, with the lowest emptying frequency of any integrated filtration device. 

Using an innovation spin process to remove water, it dries the microfibres for simple removal and waste disposal that’s intuitive for the user. Just like taking the lint from a tumble dryer.  

XFilter has been independently verified as the highest performing filtration device.
