Inside Ocean Conservancy's Fight to Make Washing Machine Filters the Law

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,581
Right now, in houses all over the world,

2
00:00:02,581 --> 00:00:04,582
washing machines are running.

3
00:00:04,934 --> 00:00:09,659
Every single cycle releases thousands of
plastic fibers too small to see,

4
00:00:09,659 --> 00:00:12,117
headed straight into rivers oceans,

5
00:00:12,117 --> 00:00:17,006
and eventually back to us. now the fix
already exists.

6
00:00:17,006 --> 00:00:21,810
And this is a story about whether anyone
can actually force that fix into law.

7
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:24,393
A fight that's already been fought once,

8
00:00:24,393 --> 00:00:27,546
lost, and is still being fought again.

9
00:00:28,074 --> 00:00:31,167
Right now, as we speak, we're gonna be
talking about that on today's episode

10
00:00:31,167 --> 00:00:32,948
of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast.

11
00:00:32,948 --> 00:00:36,030
I'm your host, Andrew Lewin. If you're new
here and you like this type

12
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:39,493
of information on how you can protect the
ocean better,

13
00:00:39,493 --> 00:00:45,398
I I highly suggest to follow this podcast
on your favorite podcast app.

14
00:00:45,398 --> 00:00:47,800
Tell your friends, tell your family
members,

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,744
people who want to know how they can stop
plastic fibers from getting into

16
00:00:52,744 --> 00:00:55,506
and microfibers from getting into our
oceans.

17
00:00:55,506 --> 00:00:57,498
Now, these microfibers come

18
00:00:58,097 --> 00:01:00,758
Come off synthetic clothing every time
it's washed,

19
00:01:00,758 --> 00:01:03,859
right? And there's a filter for it to
catch those microfibers.

20
00:01:03,859 --> 00:01:06,480
Similar in concept to a dryer's lint trap,

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,321
like how you have to take that out every
once in a while,

22
00:01:08,321 --> 00:01:10,642
right? All the lint because you don't want
to go on.

23
00:01:10,642 --> 00:01:12,743
I always worry that's gonna go on catch on
fire.

24
00:01:12,743 --> 00:01:16,964
And then it can catch most of it before it
even leaves your house.

25
00:01:16,964 --> 00:01:21,506
Now getting that filter built into washing
machines as a standard equipment

26
00:01:21,506 --> 00:01:24,307
is the real challenge, just like you would
for a lint,

27
00:01:24,307 --> 00:01:25,307
The lint catcher.

28
00:01:25,793 --> 00:01:29,646
The same way seat belts eventually became
standard in cars as well.

29
00:01:29,646 --> 00:01:34,849
So right now it's required nowhere in the
world in any meaningful enforced way.

30
00:01:34,849 --> 00:01:37,971
And if you s if you listen to any of the
other podcasts where we talked about this,

31
00:01:37,971 --> 00:01:39,847
you know that France tried to implement
it,

32
00:01:39,847 --> 00:01:41,553
but it hasn't really been implemented.

33
00:01:41,553 --> 00:01:44,155
We're gonna talk about the government of
California and why

34
00:01:44,155 --> 00:01:47,497
the governor actually said no and vetoed
the law.

35
00:01:47,497 --> 00:01:49,678
Now Ocean Conservancy's campaign,

36
00:01:49,678 --> 00:01:53,501
not safe for wash, is built as a
deliberate strategy.

37
00:01:53,811 --> 00:01:57,212
Around one fact. The technology already
works.

38
00:01:57,212 --> 00:02:01,903
It's there. It exists. There's multiple
different types of filters that you can
get.

39
00:02:01,903 --> 00:02:06,565
And the campaign's job is turning public
opinion into political pressure

40
00:02:06,805 --> 00:02:12,086
for one specific ask, requiring the filter
on new machines that are built

41
00:02:12,166 --> 00:02:14,757
and that you could buy. So you don't have
to go out and buy the filter.

42
00:02:14,757 --> 00:02:15,907
It's already there.

43
00:02:15,907 --> 00:02:20,371
A poll Ocean Conservancy ran in May 2026
of just over a thousand Americans found

44
00:02:20,371 --> 00:02:25,076
concern about microplastics up 32% since
2023.

45
00:02:25,076 --> 00:02:27,939
Nearly nine in ten people concerned,

46
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:32,203
and 81% in favor of requiring filters on
new washing machines.

47
00:02:32,203 --> 00:02:33,203
So like

48
00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:35,131
This is something that's interesting
because we,

49
00:02:35,131 --> 00:02:38,033
you know, they're out of the people who
follow Ocean Conservancy and

50
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:40,484
who are doing this poll, their concern.

51
00:02:40,484 --> 00:02:45,036
So the action of ~ this campaign is act is
is getting to the people.

52
00:02:45,036 --> 00:02:46,687
The awareness campaign is working.

53
00:02:46,687 --> 00:02:48,968
People are understanding that microfibers
are bad.

54
00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:51,710
People are understanding that we need to
do something about it.

55
00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:55,952
Now, you can go out right now and you can
buy filters for your

56
00:02:55,952 --> 00:02:58,593
wa your washing machine and you can
install it on.

57
00:02:58,593 --> 00:03:00,314
I don't know how difficult I don't have
one myself.

58
00:03:00,314 --> 00:03:02,375
I don't know how difficult it is to put
one on.

59
00:03:02,921 --> 00:03:05,173
Right, but you can go out and buy one.

60
00:03:05,173 --> 00:03:08,476
So you can do this on your own right now
if you want.

61
00:03:08,476 --> 00:03:12,699
But the fight to convince like people like
this is a prize a real problem

62
00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:14,941
has already been won already. We don't
have to worry about that.

63
00:03:14,941 --> 00:03:18,064
The real obstacle sits somewhere else
entirely.

64
00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:24,489
The AHAM AHAM ~ is short for the
Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers.

65
00:03:24,489 --> 00:03:28,132
The trade group representing the companies
that actually manufacture washing

66
00:03:28,132 --> 00:03:30,854
machines is the real opponent of this
story.

67
00:03:31,808 --> 00:03:35,881
Their case comes from testing with NSF
International,

68
00:03:35,881 --> 00:03:40,184
a company that I guess that does test pro
test products on two specific products.

69
00:03:40,184 --> 00:03:42,185
Now they came out with the result.

70
00:03:42,185 --> 00:03:45,658
They're saying, hey, look, there's only
this these filters only catch like 25%.

71
00:03:45,658 --> 00:03:47,900
They're not actually doing that great a
job.

72
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:53,203
Ocean Conservancy says that it catches up
to 90% in some cases of these microfiber.

73
00:03:53,203 --> 00:03:54,834
That's a that's a real difference here.

74
00:03:54,834 --> 00:04:00,198
Now, the the test that they did that the
AHAM did with I'm gonna call them Aham.

75
00:04:00,772 --> 00:04:05,245
did with ~ NSF International, they did
look like two specific products.

76
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,407
So one was the Filtral 160,

77
00:04:08,407 --> 00:04:12,009
a washing machine microfiber filter with a
20 micron mesh.

78
00:04:12,009 --> 00:04:17,812
And the other was a Hayward pool filter
canister fitted with pool filter socks,

79
00:04:17,812 --> 00:04:19,593
a product built for swimming pools,

80
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:22,745
tested here as a stand-in for a laundry
filter.

81
00:04:22,745 --> 00:04:26,039
So they're not really testing the variety
of filters,

82
00:04:26,039 --> 00:04:27,039
they're testing one.

83
00:04:27,463 --> 00:04:30,705
actual washing machine microfiber filter
and another one which is

84
00:04:30,705 --> 00:04:34,889
a pool filter which probably won't work
now the results in their own words

85
00:04:35,229 --> 00:04:39,622
you know the filters capture about at most
26% of the material and only

86
00:04:39,622 --> 00:04:43,164
a portion of that material that they that
they caught would actually

87
00:04:43,164 --> 00:04:48,160
be microfibers the number represents like
the total material caught without

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,844
confirming how much of it was actually
microfibers maybe you think it's less
maybe

89
00:04:52,844 --> 00:04:54,025
we don't I don't know

90
00:04:54,659 --> 00:04:56,930
Now, as I mentioned, Ocean Conservancy's
number is 90%.

91
00:04:56,930 --> 00:05:02,303
and and has its own little gap in to be in
to be all transparent from

92
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:05,174
the research that I found. I don't know
where they pulled the 90% from.

93
00:05:05,174 --> 00:05:06,654
I don't know if it's a specific study.

94
00:05:06,654 --> 00:05:09,876
I could not find it, but I did find a
bunch of feather ~ testing,

95
00:05:09,876 --> 00:05:15,497
And and so independent testing outside
either organization tells a clear story.

96
00:05:15,497 --> 00:05:19,159
One independent study found that Lint
L-U-V-R,

97
00:05:19,159 --> 00:05:21,840
lover, Lint lover, ~ external filter
captures

98
00:05:22,724 --> 00:05:28,626
87% of fibers on average. Planet Care
claims up to 98%.

99
00:05:28,626 --> 00:05:33,327
And Guppy's Friends mesh bag claims 79 to
86%.

100
00:05:33,327 --> 00:05:37,958
The Corobal reduces shedding by roughly 26
to 31%.

101
00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:41,810
I think that goes into the wash as you as
you wash your clothes.

102
00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:45,741
An independent government review out of
Connecticut found existing washing machine

103
00:05:45,741 --> 00:05:49,032
filters remove 80 to 89% of microfibers,

104
00:05:49,032 --> 00:05:50,262
like overall.

105
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:53,651
So although the neither organization's
numbers are like,

106
00:05:53,651 --> 00:05:57,002
you know, within that, those range that
they talk about,

107
00:05:57,002 --> 00:05:59,914
Ocean Conservancy's number of 90%,

108
00:05:59,914 --> 00:06:04,686
it sits pretty comfortably inside that
range of that independent product testing,

109
00:06:04,686 --> 00:06:07,787
especially when they tested a bunch of
different products and not pool,

110
00:06:07,787 --> 00:06:12,439
~ pool filter, right? so I think that that
helps when it when it looks

111
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,229
at the legitimacy of that 90%.

112
00:06:14,229 --> 00:06:17,641
We know these microfibers will catch
microfiber,

113
00:06:17,641 --> 00:06:19,752
like the microfiber filters will catch
microfibers,

114
00:06:19,752 --> 00:06:20,752
right?

115
00:06:21,019 --> 00:06:24,620
Now, one part of the appliance industry's
case does hold up though.

116
00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:28,660
A separate filter effectiveness study
avoided using detergent during

117
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:32,932
t ~ testing specifically because of
concerns it would cause clogging.

118
00:06:32,932 --> 00:06:35,722
In yesterday's show I mentioned that the
clogging of it it

119
00:06:35,722 --> 00:06:38,263
can these microfibers when they go in
water treatment plants,

120
00:06:38,263 --> 00:06:41,414
they can often get like kind of caught up
with the biosolids.

121
00:06:41,414 --> 00:06:43,944
And they were worried about this happening
there.

122
00:06:43,944 --> 00:06:48,916
Now, I don't know if there's testing that
has it with and without ~ detergent,

123
00:06:48,916 --> 00:06:50,766
but this is something that is is some

124
00:06:50,906 --> 00:06:53,218
that is, I guess, a concern when they look
at it.

125
00:06:53,218 --> 00:06:54,268
But when you're washing your clothes,

126
00:06:54,268 --> 00:06:55,559
you gotta wash it with detergent.

127
00:06:55,559 --> 00:06:58,021
So that actually matters in in this
respect.

128
00:06:58,021 --> 00:07:01,443
So I so I don't really know what the
number was off that study,

129
00:07:01,443 --> 00:07:04,746
but it did say that there was concern with
the detergent clogging

130
00:07:04,746 --> 00:07:07,197
up ~ the microfibers within this.

131
00:07:07,197 --> 00:07:12,011
But you would think that detergent would
just be solvent within the the washer.

132
00:07:12,011 --> 00:07:15,203
I don't know. I'm not I I I'm not an
engineer in that kind of way,

133
00:07:15,203 --> 00:07:17,404
but you know you'd think that's that would
be common sense.

134
00:07:17,404 --> 00:07:18,404
But we'll see. now

135
00:07:18,255 --> 00:07:19,786
There's also a life cycle argument,

136
00:07:19,786 --> 00:07:21,847
right? It claims it takes roughly 13
years,

137
00:07:21,847 --> 00:07:25,650
longer than a washing machine's working
life these days,

138
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:29,112
for a filter to capture as much plastic as
it took to manufacture it.

139
00:07:29,112 --> 00:07:31,253
And they warn about clogging, flooding
risks,

140
00:07:31,253 --> 00:07:35,486
and burden on people with disabilities
who'd have to maintain these filters.

141
00:07:35,486 --> 00:07:38,751
So these are different sort of concerns
that go around.

142
00:07:38,751 --> 00:07:43,321
I I haven't read up on the filters if they
if they address those concerns.

143
00:07:43,989 --> 00:07:45,880
but there's obviously some controversy
here.

144
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,230
There's two different organizations with
very different numbers.

145
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:51,061
The Ocean Conservancy kind of seems right
with those numbers,

146
00:07:51,061 --> 00:07:53,432
but there's also some other things that
you have to look out for.

147
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:59,204
Even there was also like a commercial
washing machine ~ manufacturer

148
00:07:59,204 --> 00:08:05,275
or or business owner who was worried about
it like with a coin ~ washing machines.

149
00:08:05,275 --> 00:08:09,707
They said they use a different type of ~
of washer where the you can't add a
filter,

150
00:08:09,707 --> 00:08:10,707
it's a drain.

151
00:08:10,723 --> 00:08:13,175
That goes down the bottom. So they
wouldn't be able to use it

152
00:08:13,195 --> 00:08:17,588
in those commercial ones. But this
campaign that the Ocean Conservancy is
running,

153
00:08:17,588 --> 00:08:20,800
not safe for wash, is for residential and
not commercial.

154
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,251
That could be addressed at another time,

155
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:24,452
I guess. Now let's talk. So we talk about,

156
00:08:24,452 --> 00:08:29,356
you know, Ocean Conservancy wants this
bill passed and they want they want

157
00:08:29,356 --> 00:08:34,489
to have government make sure that it's
legislated that these manufacturers have

158
00:08:34,489 --> 00:08:36,910
to put these filters on, these
microfilters on,

159
00:08:36,910 --> 00:08:38,972
right? So how do we get this passed?

160
00:08:38,972 --> 00:08:39,972
Has it been

161
00:08:39,673 --> 00:08:40,673
tried?

162
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,023
Where is it all coming from? California
passed a bill through

163
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:49,175
its state legislature in 2023 And it
reached the governor's desk.

164
00:08:49,175 --> 00:08:50,936
Now the governor Newsom vetoed it,

165
00:08:50,936 --> 00:08:53,318
citing rising costs to consumers,

166
00:08:53,318 --> 00:08:59,132
but his actual veto letter never named a
number like or a study or source.

167
00:08:59,654 --> 00:09:03,777
He simply just asserted that the concern
and called for more research first.

168
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:10,010
Now, Ocean Conservancy's own economic
analysis put the costs of a built-in
filter

169
00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:12,361
at about $14 to $20 per machine.

170
00:09:12,361 --> 00:09:17,004
And a retrofit filter installed after the
fact runs closer to about $100 to $300.

171
00:09:17,004 --> 00:09:21,246
A gap that comes down to comparing like
the factory installed part against

172
00:09:21,246 --> 00:09:24,688
the aftermarket add-on. So if these are
legislated to be built

173
00:09:24,688 --> 00:09:26,629
as these washing machines are.

174
00:09:26,801 --> 00:09:29,383
being built, then you would think it would
be the cheaper version.

175
00:09:29,383 --> 00:09:31,344
Of course, the consumer would probably
take the cost,

176
00:09:31,344 --> 00:09:34,065
but it would be interesting to see what
would happen.

177
00:09:34,065 --> 00:09:37,287
So Newsom's own admission administration
had previously endorsed

178
00:09:37,439 --> 00:09:41,502
This exact filter approach in California's
own statewide microplastic strategy,

179
00:09:41,502 --> 00:09:46,367
which makes this veto read as a reversal
of the administration's own prior
position.

180
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:48,068
It's it's kind of funny, right?

181
00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:50,901
Like you see that the California said,

182
00:09:50,901 --> 00:09:52,592
yeah, we're gonna put this in our
strategy,

183
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:55,184
and then all of a sudden they come in and
and they don't put it in.

184
00:09:55,184 --> 00:09:58,477
So you wonder if if maybe it's just
Governor Newsom just didn't look

185
00:09:58,477 --> 00:10:02,140
at this strategy or his advisors didn't
tell him to but about this strategy

186
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:03,140
and they forgot,

187
00:10:03,341 --> 00:10:06,914
They were coming out of COVID and they're
worried about costs for everybody.

188
00:10:06,914 --> 00:10:08,456
Who knows what they were worried about?

189
00:10:08,456 --> 00:10:10,988
I would imagine it would have taken a
while before these microfilters would

190
00:10:10,988 --> 00:10:14,511
be put on and assembled and and put
together and and approved,

191
00:10:14,511 --> 00:10:18,885
but that's where we are ~ with with the
government of of of California.

192
00:10:18,885 --> 00:10:20,136
Now, as I mentioned yesterday,

193
00:10:20,136 --> 00:10:23,249
France became the first country in the
world to pass this law and it's

194
00:10:23,309 --> 00:10:26,783
and it's still unenforced because the
technical rules needed to make

195
00:10:26,783 --> 00:10:28,234
the law were never really finished.

196
00:10:28,754 --> 00:10:32,456
And the Aham points to both California and
France as evidence that

197
00:10:32,456 --> 00:10:36,018
the policy doesn't work. The bills both
passed in the legislature,

198
00:10:36,018 --> 00:10:37,819
people want them. This is not a matter of

199
00:10:38,015 --> 00:10:41,566
People don't want them, but it's just a
matter of like it's

200
00:10:41,566 --> 00:10:43,697
not going through because of specific
individuals.

201
00:10:43,697 --> 00:10:44,907
So we wonder what's happening.

202
00:10:44,907 --> 00:10:49,608
Now, around the US, there are five states
that are actually putting bills through

203
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:52,239
or have bills through or have tried to put
bills through.

204
00:10:52,239 --> 00:10:56,242
So New York and Illinois ~ both have real
bills moving right now.

205
00:10:56,242 --> 00:10:59,003
New York's comes from Assemblywoman Anna
Kills.

206
00:10:59,003 --> 00:11:00,803
Kills, I think is how you pronounce it.

207
00:11:00,803 --> 00:11:05,375
And Illinois has ~ companion bills in both
its house and Senate.

208
00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:06,525
~ Oregon

209
00:11:06,835 --> 00:11:10,360
Already tried once, a two twenty
twenty-five bill died in committee

210
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,535
and a renewed push in twenty twenty six
doesn't have enough support yet to move
it.

211
00:11:14,535 --> 00:11:18,540
New Jersey and Pennsylvania both have
bills reported as in progress,

212
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:22,301
But those are not necessarily being put
through with full confidence.

213
00:11:22,301 --> 00:11:26,224
And obviously, California, we already know
that the Newsom vetoed it.

214
00:11:26,224 --> 00:11:30,828
And then a federal bill called the
Fighting Fibers Act is sitting

215
00:11:30,828 --> 00:11:32,259
in a Senate committee room right now,

216
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:35,011
waiting on its second attempt after an
earlier version died

217
00:11:35,331 --> 00:11:37,155
in the previous Congress. So, you know,

218
00:11:37,155 --> 00:11:38,235
there's still a lot to go through.

219
00:11:38,235 --> 00:11:41,906
I don't know if there's anything
environmental that's gonna happen with
this federal

220
00:11:41,906 --> 00:11:42,906
administration.

221
00:11:42,927 --> 00:11:46,019
I assume that there's more in the states
that we could like in the in

222
00:11:46,019 --> 00:11:47,290
the US states that can happen.

223
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:50,041
Same with provinces. Maybe even in in
Canada,

224
00:11:50,041 --> 00:11:51,622
I would like to see a bill go through.

225
00:11:51,622 --> 00:11:54,304
I don't know if I don't think it's
required here in Canada.

226
00:11:54,304 --> 00:11:56,465
So it's always good to know. ~ but to be
honest,

227
00:11:56,465 --> 00:11:58,486
nobody know really knows how this campaign
is gonna end.

228
00:11:58,486 --> 00:12:00,027
Ocean Conservancy doesn't give up.

229
00:12:00,027 --> 00:12:01,728
They are always great at doing that.

230
00:12:01,728 --> 00:12:05,834
They are going to fight this and they are
going to ensure that all

231
00:12:05,834 --> 00:12:08,112
~ concerns are addressed and they can be.

232
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:12,882
properly laid out so that more and more
people can take part in this campaign

233
00:12:13,142 --> 00:12:15,175
and talk to your local representative,

234
00:12:15,175 --> 00:12:18,736
your state, your federal, and your local
representative,

235
00:12:18,736 --> 00:12:20,247
~ whether you're in the states,

236
00:12:20,247 --> 00:12:22,175
whether you're in Canada, wherever you're
listening to this,

237
00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:23,575
this is like an important part.

238
00:12:23,575 --> 00:12:29,908
This can really help reduce ~ microfiber f
f microfibers from being released into

239
00:12:29,908 --> 00:12:33,800
the water system and of course back into
us by up to ninety percent.

240
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,201
That's huge. That's a huge, huge thing.

241
00:12:36,201 --> 00:12:37,201
So

242
00:12:37,083 --> 00:12:39,914
that's the episode for today. if you want
to find out more,

you can go to oceanconservancy.org slash
NSFW

244
00:12:44,987 --> 00:12:46,948
or contact your representatives,

245
00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:48,839
find out what's moving in your own state.

246
00:12:48,839 --> 00:12:52,530
and of course, ~ I think that's that's
always fun.

247
00:12:52,530 --> 00:12:56,262
And and the same playbook ~ works locally
wherever you are,

248
00:12:56,262 --> 00:12:58,953
since the exact fight is playing out in
other countries too.

249
00:12:58,953 --> 00:13:00,984
So it doesn't matter where you are.

250
00:13:00,984 --> 00:13:02,025
Now next episode.

251
00:13:02,421 --> 00:13:04,752
We are going to talk about who actually
pays for all this and

252
00:13:04,752 --> 00:13:08,793
the economics behind laws like the
California's SP 54 and who foots

253
00:13:08,793 --> 00:13:11,583
the bill for cleaning up plastic pollution
today.

254
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:14,064
