Addressing microplastics ... with wool 🌊

You may already know that synthetic textiles are a major contributor to microplastic pollution. When they are being used or washed, textiles like acyclic, nylon (polyamine), and polyester shed particles that are dispersed by wind and water.

Hundreds of scientific papers have focused on how microplastics accumulate in the environment and in the food chain.

The person who first used the term "microplastics," Richard C Thompson, has said that the best way to address microplastic pollution sources like synthetic textiles is to minimize their release in the first place:

✳️Reduce their production.
✳️ Improve their product design.
✳️ Use non-plastic substitutes.

Wool, a keratin-based natural fibre, is an invaluable choice for brands and consumers who are passionate about clean oceans and committed to reducing plastic in our planet's ecosystems.

IWTO's research into wool fibres shows clearly that wool does not contribute to microplastics. Not in water, not in soil. Wool biodegrades in both. Wool fibres break down into essential nutrients like nitrogen and sulphur. In months.

Want to reduce the burden of synthetic waste on our planet's ecosystems? Choose wisely. Choose wool. 🌊
