Addressing Microplastic Pollution
Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland have introduced a groundbreaking system aimed at combating microplastic pollution in the fashion industry. Led by an expert from the School of Textiles, this initiative seeks to reduce the environmental impact created by synthetic fabrics.
The team explores innovative methods to minimize the release of microplastics during the clothing lifecycle. Their research focuses on enhancing fabric production techniques and recycling processes, providing a sustainable alternative for the fashion industry. By addressing this urgent issue, they aim to promote eco-friendly practices in textile manufacturing.
