@my_plastic_free_home: Would you like some tips about how to reduce your households exposure to microplastics? Here are my top five: 1. Keep it clean. Did you know that almost 40% of the dust particles in your home are microplastics? Dusting and hoovering in your home reduces household levels. 2. Air dry your clothes. A single tumble dryer could be responsible for releasing 120 million micro plastic fibres into the air each year. So drape those clothes wherever you can! 3. Stop putting plastic containers in the microwave. Plastic containers leach chemicals and components of plastic into the food when they’re heated. 4. Rethink how you drink. Although they’re called paper cups, they have liners which release microplastic particles when exposed to hot liquids. 5. Swap out plastic for glass. Glass packaging cannot break down into the food and drink it contains. Choosing products packaged in glass can offer a tangible household solution to reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals caused by microplastics.
