Practical solutions to the problem of microfibres

April 18, 2018 by Alan Stainer

Practical solutions to the problem of microfibres

I don’t know about you, but I find piles of lint coming out of clothes when they are dried, but I have never once thought about what might be coming out in the wash itself.

Lint is made up of tiny plastic microfibres, which is next to impossible to remove at water treatment plants, but that doesn’t mean one person cannot come up with a great idea to help solve the problem.
