Partenariat avec les microfibres
Rejoignez le partenariat
Microfiber Partnership
Informing science-based solutions to microfibers through research on their sources, transfer to and fate in the ocean.
Études sur la conception et la production textiles, les pratiques de consommation et les dispositifs de filtration comme solutions pour réduire les émissions de microfibres.
Des études visant à déterminer l’efficacité de l’élimination des microplastiques, ainsi que la variation au fil du temps, en soutien aux solutions d’ingénierie et aux meilleures pratiques de gestion des déchets.
Recherche pour développer des outils basés sur la spectrométrie infrarouge par transformée de Fourier (FTIR) afin d’identifier et de suivre le sort des microplastiques dans l’environnement.
We are thrilled to see the results of this long-term research released, and are excited to put these recommendations into action in our design process, textiles development and manufacturing. It’s our hope that this research offers practical, science-backed measures for our industry as a whole to adopt

D’où viennent les microfibres ?
Synthetic fibers are common constituents of textiles and are released from clothing during domestic laundry. While this varies greatly depending on many factors, such as the type of garment and laundry conditions, research has shown that some materials can lose billions of fibers in a single wash. Wastewater treatment facilities, where available, can capture much of these fibers and other microplastics (> 90%) into sludge. Nonetheless, microfiber emissions with treated wastewater on annual and geographical scales are substantial because of the large volumes of polluted water treated.
