	Every year, synthetic fibres release 500,000 tonnes of plastic micro-particles into the oceans, the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles. What is even more worrying is the fact that this pollution is only increasing. People now buy twice as many clothes as 15 years ago and wear them for half the time. And brands are manufacturing more and more to keep up with this rising cycle of mass consumption. Some, fashion brands, especially those geared towards the general public, release up to 24 collections a year. This is how we end up wasting a huge amount of textiles, buried or burnt, every second. Moreover, the industry produces 10% of the world's carbon emissions; more than aviation and shipping combined; and 20% of waste water.
