A lot of our textiles and clothing garments are unfortunately entirely or at least partly made from synthetic materials, including Polyester, Viscose, Nylon, Elastane, Polyester (Polar) Fleece + many trademarked textiles. Teeny microfibres from these materials are shed during each laundry cycle and are washed away with our machine’s wastewater - ending up in essentially every part of our ecosystem. Our water, our air, our soil, our produce and our whānau! These fibres can be extremely detrimental to our natural world. Once in our environment, the tiny microplastics irreversibly degrade into smaller and smaller particles and are impossible to retrieve.

Everyone loves a laundry day companion and Res.Awesome is here to help. We are excited to introduce our latest stocked item available for purchase; The Guppy Friend. This is a truly revolutionary product that can help our community divert harmful microplastics from our waterways and natural environment.
