Plastic Pollution and Textiles: What the Science Says and Why It Matters

Are we focused on the right problem when it comes to plastic pollution?

The plastic leakage conversation has largely focused on packaging. Textiles, including both microplastics and larger mismanaged waste across the full product lifecycle, are getting a closer look.

This webinar brings together experts in science, measurement, and industry engagement to examine where leakage is occurring, how it gets measured across complex supply chains, and how different fiber types behave once they enter the environment. The session will also address how organizations are working to connect the science to broader awareness, stronger industry communication, and real momentum around natural fiber solutions.

If you work in textiles, sustainability, or product development, this is a conversation worth making time for.
