Resourcemedia – Three coordinated interventions could cut textile microfibre pollution by 95%

Resource Media’s coverage of From Shedding to Solutions, EA’s report with The Nature Conservancy, breaks down how the estimated 95% reduction in production-phase microfibre leakage by 2032 splits across three interventions: sludge management (43 percentage points), process improvements (20), and upgraded wastewater treatment (6). The article also details where the 58,000 tonnes of microfibres currently leaking into the environment each year end up — 41,000 tonnes on land and 17,000 tonnes in waterways. Under Armour and Patagonia are quoted on the case for coordinated, cross-value-chain action.
