Did you know that between half a million and a million tons of plastic microfibres are discharged into waste water each year from the washing of synthetic clothes? The fashion industry is a catastrophic contribution to the pollution of our oceans and as consumers we can put a stop to it. Take Primark as a prime example of an unsustainable fast fashion brand, with over 350 stores in 12 countries across the world, the popular clothing store sells cheap clothing. Don’t be fooled

What if you were told that you are shedding little particles of plastics known as microfibre as you walk to work, school, or simply picking up groceries.

Would you change your fashion purchase habits? These little particles of plastics or microfibre are also known as a part of a micro-plastic fibre. Ri
