Check out our NEW report! By making simple yet effective changes when doing laundry, such as washing on gentle and in cold water, you can drastically decrease microfiber pollution.
15 Nov 2022
Latest @PlasticsLab study in partnership with @Samsung Electronics and @Patagonia shows that ‘gentle’ wash cycles reduces #microfiber shedding. Partnering with industry to develop science-based #solutions to this critical issues, bit.ly/3twSgJW #microplastics

How do we count microplastics in oceans around the world? Our own researcher Kevin Landrini @OceanWise with @SailGPCAN @BertoldIsabella in Saint-Tropez - who'll be collecting tow-net samples at🌍race locations to be sent to our lab!
Will we find diff. plastics at diff. places?
9 Sep 2022
The ocean is our racetrack and the more data we have on it, the better we can understand and protect it. Here in St-Tropez, we did some water sampling together with @OceanWise, to measure the level of microplastic pollution in the water. Results to come in a few week's time 🔬

Our report “Me, My Clothes and the Ocean” is referenced on @iciradiocanada with Marie-Chantal Ross of @CNRC_NRC. Even if 90% of microfibres are trapped during wastewater treatment, that leaves 10% or the equivalent of 10 blue whales destined for the ocean bit.ly/3BZvj7V
