Thanks for writing about Microfiber water pollution. The fashion industry has to start addressing this issue from within. For the past few years I have been working on an alternative to the polyester fabric used in the outdoor industry. After a few prototypes, I have a polyester free moisture wicking cotton twill that can compete with synthetic fibers in the market. We can offer the consumer the fabric they want without the harmful effects on the environment. We did this because even if you use a bag or coral ball to reduce microfiber pollution the best alternative is to reduce polyester overall and limit its use.
