#Polyester
USA bans flammable fabrics in children's sleepwear (16 CFR 1615-1616). Polyester is the common substitute. Yet washing synthetic fabric produces 35% of all microplastic pollution. Choi et al. found in 2021 that washing and drying knit polyester released 4 to 5 times as much as woven.
Rock vs. hard place.

#Fashion: Recycled polyester releases both the highest number of fibres and the finest particles, worsening the microplastic pollution problem.
98% of recycled polyester comes from plastic bottles, not textile waste.

From Nike to H&M: How the fashion industry’s ‘big green plan’ is worsening microplastic pollution
An investigation into recycled polyester found microplastic pollution is being worsened by ‘green’ materials.
A new study by the Changing Markets Foundation has suggested that recycled #polyester is not as environmentally-friendly as initially assumed, creating 55% more microplastic particles on average during washing than virgin polyester. 🧺

Past!Me: I should totally repurpose this awful "teddy bear"* fabric I have into a Onesie for my BJD
Present!Me: oh yeah, forgot how thing is a shedding nightmare. Good job I did some test hand stitches before utterly ~gumming up my poor sewing machine~
[Bought suspiciously cheap 'Teddy Bear"Fabric fitted sheet. After making bed & lying on it every movement created *visible sparks*! Sheet was trying to sacrifice me to the #Polyester Satan and returning it would have cost more purchase price]
