What is needed to reduce microfiber pollution?
Start to care about what you wear.
We need a policy that finally takes the problem seriously and people who demand change on a massive scale.
We must force the major textile manufacturers to take responsibility; we can no longer stand by and watch as the responsibility lies solely with the consumer.
We need circular design in fashion and the use of natural fibers in production as well as an increase in public awareness.
We need measures to keep companies accountable for their environmental footprint when it comes to importing harmful products.
The time for plastic textiles made from oil and gas is over. It is madness that we are carrying plastic bags, poisoning ourselves and polluting this planet.

What is needed to reduce microfiber pollution?
Consume less, and differently.
We can demand more from the industry, wash at 30, and consume consciously—so why wouldn’t we?
Shop mindfully and buy less, because less is more.
Reflect your consumption.
Regulations.

What is needed to reduce microfiber pollution?
We need education, awareness, and the appropriate laws.
I think it’s really important that there is both education on the subject and legal regulation.
Clear regulations for the textile industry and responsible clothing consumption.
We will only get to grips with the problem of microfibers if we understand that we do not live separately from nature, but are part of it, and that everything we put out there comes back to us.
It’s not only up to consumers, change has to happen within the companies and their production.
