Polyester is one of the most popular materials used in the fashion industry due to its affordability, durability, and ease of care. However, recent studies have shown that the production and disposal of polyester clothes can have a significant impact on the environment, especially when it comes to microplastics. Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are smaller than 5mm and are a growing concern for our oceans and the wildlife that depend on them. The Shedding of Microplastics: When we wear polyester clothes, they can shed tiny fibers, known as microfibers, into the environment. These microfibers can easily
