Microplastics is something else that is totally being overlooked in this article too.
There has been quite a lot of talk recently about microplastics from fabrics, and studies suggesting all our lungs contain at least some microplastics.
I was quite oblivious to it until we got a new heatpump drier with a fancy lint filter and you can clearly see the fibres collected, its amazing how many actually come off during a cycle.
I have to clean this thing out after every cycle, makes me wonder where it all went with my old drier, I hardly had to clean out the filter on that one.
Its an issue wastewater treatment plants are trying to address too, as alot of this ends up in the ocean and is hard to remove.
