Cheaper alternative to planetcare?

So this is a two fold purchase 

- One is that it's good to remove all plastics anyway
- Two is my washing machine RRPs at over £2200. I got a new Miele WWR860WPS for £700 on eBay, so it helps protect the washing machine too

I've looked at this 
https://planetcare.org/

Are there perhaps cheaper (and maybe greener) options available? Or maybe not necessarily cheaper but ones that do a better job? Maybe one that's reusable instead of needing constant cartridges?

I don't see how it can protect the washing machine from anything.  It sits in the waste outlet pipe.  So anything it collects has already left the machine.

Greener option might be to buy non-plastic clothing and not need to capture bits of plastic.

To an extent. It's somewhat unavoidable unfortunately unless ALL your clothes are cotton  and even then there's a probably mico plastics in there. There's some in our own bodies

What does the company do with the filters once you return them? How do they make the plastic "disappear"? Also, what is their gadget made of?
