Its use is so common because it\u2019s cheaper and more resistant than cotton, but oil, a non-renewable fossil resource, is used to produce 70% of synthetic fibres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production of textiles has a strong environmental impact, but so does washing clothes. Both because of its water and energy use but also because of the pollution it causes to water and soil.<strong> Textile fibres contain chemicals <\/strong>(found in detergents) and microplastics (contained in polyester) which are<strong> released into the water during washing.\u2074<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can we do to reduce the impact of what we wear on the environment? We can choose the right materials such as linen, hemp, organic cotton, or recycled fibres and watch for brand affiliations with organisations like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and Oeko Tex. We can also donate our clothes after using them and use a biodegradable or eco-responsible detergent to wash them during use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources: [1] Erwan Autret, Engineer with Ademe, for an article in leparisien.fr: Pollution.
