Am I Really Wearing Plastic?

Presentation by Robyn Zink. Can you tell the difference between synthetic and natural fibres in material? Robyn describes the processes involved in making different fabrics and the environmental impacts of these. Microplastics are often a hidden part of the clothing life-cycle. The decisions we make about what we buy and how we take care of our clothes make a difference to the amount of microplastics entering our waterways. Robyn shares some ideas for getting others on board with change.
