RECYCLED PLASTIC CLOTHES COULD BE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD
The great debate about plastics and recycled technical fibres is far from over.
There is a huge amount of things to consider.
Like washing the technical garments.
As Dr Mark Browne from National Center of Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara, California states: “Research now shows that microfibers — tiny synthetic threads less than 1 mm in size — could be the biggest source of plastic in the ocean. A single synthetic garment can produce more than 1,900 fibres per wash. The most “leaking” of them are fleeces. If this is the case, recycled plastic clothes could be doing more harm than good.”
It’s one of the reasons why Seasoned Traveler is always searching for the “hi-tech” fibres produced by nature itself.
Like camel hair or ramie.
