RESEARCH

Microplastics from synthetic apparel are silently, but increasingly, wreaking havoc on both our health and the planet. From shedding in our laundry to polluting the oceans, entire ecosystems – the air we breathe, and the water we drink. These tiny fibers pack a big punch, and research shows they are now found in our blood vessels, heart, lungs, brain and other organs, with dire health risks, even for the most vulnerable – our children.
