Is your bridge cloth made from polyester, nylon or other manmade fibre? If so, it could be shedding more than 1900 plastic microfibres when it's washed, causing ocean pollution. #Wool baize is fully biodegradable and also degrades harmlessly in a marine environment. #choosewool

A tragedy in the sea. A plastic microfibre among the plankton. The fibre is just 10 µm in diameter and invisible to the naked eye, but this shocking pollution must not be overlooked.

Watch: Whatever the difficulties of maintaining a recycling system in a small country like New Zealand, that shouldn't negate the fact that some material is still easy to give a second life.
