The amount of micro- and nano-particles released rapidly increases with each new wash.

When these microscopic particles are from synthetic materials, such as polyester, polyamide or acrylic, they take over 20 years and some even up to 100 years to break down.

It’s a silent yet major problem. It’s an invisible yet lasting cause of pollution. It’s what happens when you wash your clothes.
Zyosh is a system that measures the amount of micro- and nano-particles released according to the number of times a garment has been washed.
This data is included on a special label to inform consumers of micro- and nano-particle leakage from the item of clothing.
Zyosh is a smart solution that paves the way towards making the fabric industry cleaner, more committed and sustainable.


Zyosh has developed a filter based on hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) for conventional washing machines. This filter helps eliminate residual microplastics and microfibres from the water.
The washing machine filter provides a new way of washing clothes, saving water and preventing micro- and nano-particle pollution from reaching the sea.
