A team of researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland has developed an innovative system aimed at combating microplastic pollution in the fashion industry. This groundbreaking research, spearheaded by experts from the School of Textiles, addresses the urgent environmental challenge posed by microplastics released during the production and washing of textile products.
This new system focuses on minimizing microplastics that escape into the environment, offering a sustainable solution for brands and consumers alike. The objective is to create a more sustainable fashion industry while promoting eco-friendly practices.
