How Fast Fashion & (Recycled) Polyester Create The Microplastics In Our Blood
We are covered in petroleum. Hydrocarbons create the plastics (polyester, nylon, elastane, acrylic, etc) that seep into our everyday lives, our clothes, and our bodies.
Polyester has led the way for fast fashion to boom, leaving a trail of microplastics in nature and in us.
With the help of Professor Dick Vethaak, we explain how polyester clothing helps create the microplastics found in our bloodstream.
Our mission is to make fashion truly sustainable. Our clothes are biodegradable & 100% plastic-free and made single origin from our studio in Peru. Our channel was made to share our manufacturing knowledge and promote a deeper conversation about fashion.
