The widespread use of synthetic fibers in clothing has several potential environmental impacts. One significant issue is microplastic pollution, as synthetic fabrics shed tiny plastic particles when washed, which end up polluting waterways and harming marine life. The production of synthetic fibers also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and relies heavily on non-renewable resources like petroleum. Furthermore, the disposal of garments made from synthetic materials often leads to them ending up in landfills where they do not biodegrade easily, further exacerbating waste management challenges.
