STOP Fragmented and Microplastic Textile Fibres

All textiles release fibre fragments (microplastics). At @UniversityLeeds, we (@AVPalaciosMarin, @abduljabbarte, @taucif ) created bespoke polyester and cotton textiles from three yarn structures and quantified shed fragmented fibres & length distribution.journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00….

Thank you @AVPalaciosMarin for desigining the display picture for the project.

STOP.FF is an exciting @EPSRC funded project at @UniversityLeeds (@UoLDesign) led by @taucif and in collaboration with Professor Anne Neville and Dr. Ali Ghanbarzadeh (@iFSLEEDS), and Dr. Dongmin Yang (@EdinburghUni). #sustainability #microplastics #textiles #pollution
