Natural heat: Avoid using dryers and line-dry clothes instead, as dryers can release a significant amount of microfibres into the air through their vents. — Filepic/The Star
IN Malaysia, the garment market is increasingly dominated by polyester microfibre cloths, prized for their low cost and easy maintenance. Microfibre material is typically a blend of synthetic materials, like polyester and sometimes nylon, that are tightly woven or knitted to create a smooth, soft, and often moisture- wicking fabric.
Polyester sheds more microplastics than any other woven material, making up nearly three-quarters of microplastic pollution in the environment and two-thirds of microplastics in household dust.
