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
Plastic Overshoot Day marks the point when the amount of plastic waste generated exceeds the world’s capacity to manage it, resulting in environmental pollution. In 2026, the global Plastic Overshoot Day is projected to occur on September 6th.
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
Your clothes are shedding microfibres – and regulators are coming

Patagonia, Under Armour Work Alongside Environmental Organizations on New Microfiber Report
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
De nouvelles règles européennes déploient progressivement des obligations de déclaration sur les émissions de microplastiques liées à la peinture à partir d’octobre 2025. Un kit de rinçage britannique montre ce qu’une entreprise a fait face à cela — et pourquoi
New EU rules are phasing in reporting obligations for paint’s microplastic emissions from October 2025 onward. A UK wash kit shows what one company did about it — and why product fixes alone won’t be enough.
Les investisseurs peuvent mesurer le carbone qu’ils financent. Le plastique est la prochaine étape.
Financial institutions have had a standard way to measure the carbon emissions financed through their portfolios for several years now. Plastic pollution has had no equivalent. An investor could hold shares in a packaging company, a textile manufacturer, or a
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
L’émission « À bon entendeur » de la RTS s’est penchée sur une question qui interpelle de nombreux consommateurs : la consommation de thé en sachet entraîne-t-elle l’ingestion de microplastiques ?
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.
Earth Action and LeafTurtle on why companies stay stuck on water and nature strategy — and what it actually takes to move.
Earth Action et LeafTurtle expliquent pourquoi les entreprises restent bloquées sur leur stratégie eau et nature, et ce qu’il faut vraiment pour avancer.
