Given that microplastics barely get any coverage for how large of a problem they are (in terms of how much goes into the environment), I have doubts about any legal restrictions on their use. Even today, it can be difficult to buy anything that's 100% natural fiber at brick and motor stores. At online stores it may or may not even be listed. The first step would be public awareness. I haven't even seen anyone IRL mention it before. synthetic fiber based clothing is everywhere and worn without any second thought by most. So we're quite quite far from even public awareness at this point. Maybe in the future, when oil isn't cheap we might see their usage drop, but maybe then you'll see clothing made out of 100% recycled (downcycled) plastic bottles.
