Brands form alliance to fight microfibre pollution
Original: Brands launch alliance against microfibre pollution
Major clothing brands have launched a new alliance aimed at tackling microfibre pollution, the tiny synthetic fibres shed by textiles that end up in oceans and waterways. The initiative, reported by Ecotextile News, is expected to coordinate industry action on fabric design, testing and manufacturing practices to reduce fibre shedding at source.
Why now: Growing regulatory and public pressure over microplastic pollution from textiles has pushed brands to act collectively.
