It looks great in the photo, but is your clothing actually made of plastic Acrylic... polyester... these cheap imitation fibres cause microplastic pollution every time you wash them. Natural fibres such as wool, cotton, linen and cashmere are biodegradable. They do not contribute to plastic pollution. Yarns such as viscose and modal are made from the pulp of beech trees or bamboo, these also biodegrade. Humans have worn natural fibres for thousands of years for good reason. Their hydroscopic properties keeping you warm in winer and cool in summer.
Did you know that when you wash clothes made from synthetics, tiny plastic microfibres are released
into the water supplies, ending up in our rivers, oceans and ultimately our food chain? With up to 35% of
the plastics in the sea coming from these tiny particles, this is a real problem.
FACT: If you wear synthetic clothing, you are contributing to plastic pollution
What can I do?
Always check the label.
It might be described as a ‘wool’ jumper but is it actually made from 40% acrylic?
Does it look nice and soft, but is acutally 50% polyester?
