I've been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

Don’t microwave your food in plastic containers. Pretty easy way to cut a chunk of microplastics from your diet.

Also evidently Ziplock is one of the only brands of plastic storage bags that don’t contain pfas.
