Clothes that use synthetic fibers are shedding microplastics whenever you wear them, wash them, etc. You shouldn't wear such garbage if you care about the environment (and your health).
- spaetzleesser 4y agoWhat’s the alternative?
- Melatonic 4y agoYou can also minimize the shedding by using special bags while washing ( I forget the name ) if you want to use them for specific outdoor pursuits. But for everyday use there are lots of natural fibers that are great alternatives to polyester, nylon, etc. Cotton of course is well known, linen is generally much better environmental wise, and if properly taken care of (and if the animals are cared for correctly) there are many animals fibers that have really great performance properties. Merino wool being the most well known of course and Alpaca being the biggest up and comer (basically has all of upsides of merino and none of the downsides)
