Right but...how did you extrapolate from indoor lint to all soil and water? What about all the other non-clothing plastic and rubber noone wants to pay for proper recycling or incineration?

- hinkley 5y agoWashing clothes sends microplastics to the water treatment plant. Notwithstanding leaky sewer systems (and especially combined stormwater systems), that's a centralized problem that can be solved in one spot. Drying your clothes is a point source problem. Every dryer vent is spewing microplastics into every yard and street. The lint trap only catches the largest fibers.
