La nouvelle modélisation issue du rapport From Shedding to Solutions d’Earth Action montre pourquoi la seule amélioration du traitement des eaux usées ne change presque rien à la pollution par les microfibres, et ce qui change lorsqu’elle est associée à
New modelling from Earth Action’s From Shedding to Solutions report shows why upgrading wastewater treatment on its own barely moves the needle on microfiber pollution, and what changes when it’s paired with controlled sludge management.
La date d’application du règlement est passée le 12 août 2026. Presque rien de ce qui réduit, recycle ou réutilise les emballages n’est encore contraignant, et la règle permettant de mesurer si les objectifs de réutilisation sont atteints n’a pas
The regulation’s application date passed on 12 August 2026. Almost nothing that reduces, recycles or reuses packaging is binding yet, and the rule that will measure whether reuse targets are met doesn’t have to exist until 2027.
Amila Abeynayaka, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains what it takes to make plastic reduction efforts actually lower environmental impact, from composition to regional context to avoiding burden-shifting.
When Earth Action and The Nature Conservancy published From Shedding to Solutions in July 2026, the report filled a gap the textile industry had been working around for years: nobody had quantified, at system level, how much microfibre pollution manufacturing

How ‘practical interventions’ could cut around 95 per cent of microfibre pollution from textile production
Every year, textile manufacturing generates an estimated 92,000 tonnes of microfiber losses during production, with 63%, more than 58,000 tonnes, reaching the environment. But where exactly does this pollution occur, how much is already being captured, and what would it
