Guppyfriend Washing Bag

These wash bags capture the microplastics that can shed from clothing during washing. The broken fibres collect in the corners of the washing bag after washing and can be easily removed and disposed of.

The bag has been designed to prevent microfiber loss at source. Due to the smooth surface and structure of the material, fewer microfibers break off during washing. This ensures that your clothes are protected, pilling is avoided and fiber loss is reduced

The Guppyfriend Washing Bags are made of polyamide 6.6. The fabric itself doesn't shed any microplastic fibres because it is made of monofilaments.

Encircled is proudly one the few Canadian-made Certified B Corporations that's woman-owned and women-operated. As a Certified B Corp, we uphold a higher standard of social and environmental ethics, accountability and transparency.

Ethically-Made Clothing

Encircled clothing is locally-made within 60km of our studio in Toronto, Canada at garment factories we vet for standards against our Ethical Code of Conduct checklist.

Local production in Canada means fair wages, safe working conditions, regulated time off, provincially funded health care and the right to unionize. Workers are protected by the Province of Ontario Employee Standards Act. We visit factories regularly, often weekly if not more frequenlty.

We prioritize working with local production on every component from labels, to zippers, to fabric due to the higher quality and standard of life offered to those who make the products locally in Canada.

Environmentally-Conscious

Low impact dyes that are free of harmful chemicals, and tested to be safe for your skin and safe for the workers harvesting, knitting and dying the fabric.

A large portion of our fabric (approx. 50%) is knit and dyed locally in Ontario, reducing our carbon footprint significantly.

Every fabric contains naturally-derived fibres that meet the highest standards of environmental sustainability. Read more on the Fabric below for each style.

Where noted, our fabrics are certified yarns, which means that they're sustainably-sourced in a way that honours the planet in the process.
