The microfibers shed by synthetic clothing during a laundry cycle are a big contributor to plastic pollution (Credit: Retviews.com)

Clothing made from synthetic materials, such as polyester and nylon, has many positive attributes. It is cheap to produce, lasts for a long time, and is comfortable to wear. However, the fabric, made from petroleum, has one major downside. The tiny polymer strands — or what we call lint — that shed from the textiles during each laundry cycle are big contributors to plastic pollution. Now, some scientists from Lithuania have found a way to recycle the textile waste into clean energy.

          Oh my gosh, is it just me or did the music and timing of that video make anyone else cry?? I absolutely love animals and I am definitely having a chat with my parents to see what we could do to help.

            It's amazing how people come up with ideas and I can't believe scientists found a way to convert lint into energy.
