I hope it isn’t the way forward - little bits of it come off when washing and drying. Micro plastic galore.

  This problem can be pretty easily solved with finer washing machine filters and/or guppyfriend bags.

    Do you know of any research on that?

      There are a variety of commercial products already available to buy: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=washing+machine+microplastic+filter&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=washing... https://en.guppyfriend.com https://en.guppyfriend.com

    Sort of, burying that waste is better but far from perfect.

      It takes 600 years to biodegrade which is nothing in the overall scheme of things. Scientists also seem to be well on their way to creating a bacteria that consumes plastic. Personally I think plastic waste is going to be a mostly solved issue within the next 25 years.
