Aging and Modified Washing Process for Polyester Fabrics-Environmental Impact.

Aging and washing factors have a direct influence on changing the properties of textile products, e.g., causing a release of textile fragments in the washing process.

Microplastics in Wastewater by Washing Polyester Fabrics.

Microplastics have become one of the most serious environmental hazards today, raising fears that concentrations will continue to rise even further in the near future. Micro/nanoparticles are formed when plastic breaks down into tiny fragments due to mechanical or photochemical processes. Microplastics are everywhere, and they have a strong tendency to interact with the ecosystem, putting biogenic fauna and flora at risk.
