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.

      This is great and all, but the problem is the byproducts (the charcoal and oils) will have to be disposed of , and I know you are probably thinking that we can use them as fuel, but that will just replace the pollution that we stopped with more pollution.
