PolyGone products rely on unique combination technology for the highest microfibre capture rates. Our products are simple, reusable, effective, and environmentally friendly. Microfibres captured can be returned to us for discount on your next purchase. 

Save the ocean, save wildlife, and save yourself from pollutant-coated plastics by preventing microfibre emissions.

Our work applies to three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 14 Life Below Water, SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, and SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production. Click on the images below to find out more about these goals, and read below for how our work addresses each goal.

​Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources.

 By preventing the release of microfibres into oceans and other bodies of water, we are protecting these resources and the creatures that live within them. We all depend on oceans to survive - for water, food, and its ability to regulate our atmosphere.

​Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.

 By removing microfibres from water, we are providing cleaner, safer water for all people. Not only do we minimize consumption of plastics, but we reduce exposure to the associated chemicals that build up on microfibres.​

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

By using biodegradable, sustainably sourced materials, we ensure responsible production. By managing microfibre emissions, we provide technology to ensure responsible consumption and use of synthetic textiles
