EXCLUSIVE: Nike, Patagonia, Under Armour JoinCoalition to Curb Microfiber Pollution at the Source
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.
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
Your clothes are shedding microfibres – and regulators are coming

Three coordinated interventions could cut textile microfibre pollution by 95%
95% of microfibre leaks ‘could be prevented’ by coordinated action

Forbes – Textile Industry Challenged Over Microfibre Leaks Into The Environment
Textile manufacturing releases 92,000 tonnes of microfibre pollution each year, report finds
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
Une nouvelle recherche menée par Earth Action cartographie les pertes de microfibres tout au long de la fabrication des textiles, identifie quatre leviers pour les réduire et en analyse les implications pour les fabricants.
The textile industry now has its first system-level baseline for how much microfiber pollution manufacturing creates, and where it can be reduced. A new report from Earth Action, From Shedding to Solutions, maps the full pathway from fiber generation through
Les recherches sur le polyester recyclé et le relargage de microfibres sont plus contestées que les marques ne le pensent. Voici ce que montre la science et pourquoi le risque lié aux allégations augmente.
Research on recycled polyester and microfiber shedding is more contested than brands realise. Here is what the science shows and why the claims risk is growing.
EU deadlines are arriving. ESPR, ECD, EPR and CSDDD create overlapping obligations for fashion brands on microfiber shedding. Here is what is in force and what is coming
Les échéances européennes arrivent. ESPR, ECD, EPR et CSDDD créent des obligations croisées pour les marques de mode sur les relargages de microfibres. Voici ce qui est en vigueur et ce qui arrive.
