Interesting, but seems a bit strange that those fibres account for that much plastic waste...unless if synthetic clothing/gear was lost at sea and gradually disintegrated.

A fleece top loses, on average, 1900 fibres per wash. Pretty much all of the microfibers from clothes are to small to be filtered out if sewage during treatment so it all ends up the sea.
Back to wool it is then...me mom is still knitting :-)
