plastic in textiles: towards a circular economy for synthetic textiles ...
Plastic-based — or ‘synthetic’— textiles are woven into our daily lives in Europe. They are in the clothes we wear, the towels we use and the bed sheets we sleep in. They are in the carpets, curtains and cushions we decorate our homes and offices with. And they are in safety belts, and car tyres, workwear and sportswear. Synthetic textile fibres are produced from fossil fuel resources ...
microplastics from textiles: towards a circular economy for textiles in ...Awareness is increasing about the presence of microplastics in our seas, land and air — and of their negative effects on ecosystems, animals and people. Microplastics can be released directly into the environment or can result from the degradation of larger pieces of plastic. The wearing and washing of textiles made from synthetic (plastic) fibers is one recognised source of microplastics in ...
