It is literally raining microplastics. One of the main culprits? Synthetic textiles.
"Researchers find that over 1,000 metric tons of microplastics fall on 11 protected areas in the US annually. That’s the equivalent to over 120 million plastic water bottles.”
Matt Simon. “Plastic Rain is the New Acid Rain.” Wired Magazine. June 11, 2020.
The good news is, we can turn this around. Microplastics are tiny fragments from plastic products and plastic fibers shed from our synthetic clothing and gear. By simply opting to use a plant-fiber Lava Linens towel instead of a microfiber towel, you can prevent up to 12 credit cards worth of microplastics from entering our air, water and soil every year.
While microfiber is made from petroleum and contains thousands of chemicals known to harm the environment and human health, hemp and lyocell come from easy to grow, climate-friendly plants.
Hemp is a regenerative carbon sink plant, requiring zero pesticides and 40x less water than cotton to grow.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have gained a commendable reputation for their environmentally responsible closed loop production process, which transforms sustainably sourced wood pulp into cellulosic fibers with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.
