Have you ever thought about the clothes you buy and wear? Do you ever wonder where they are made or what materials were used to make them? It turns out that what we wear impacts the planet.
A very common material that is used to make most of our clothing comes from something called microfibers. You have probably heard of, seen, or used microfiber products. These days they are everywhere!
And believe it or not, microfiber clothes are plastic.
Fleece is probably the most popular example of microfiber. You might have a fleece jacket
, pants, or blanket. Microfibers are also used in cleaning products, like as towels and mop pads.
