Plastics in Clothing with Hannah Teschler Dunning

Did you know that over 11 million tons of textiles end up in U.S. landfills each year? These discarded garments release an estimated 176,500 metric tons of microplastic fibers into the environment annually.

The fashion industry's reliance on synthetic materials has skyrocketed, with polyester now used in over 60% of garments. Fast fashion brands are increasingly using cheaper, plastic-based fabrics to produce more clothing at lower costs. This trend towards disposable fashion is not only harming our planet but also potentially impacting our health.

Microplastics from these garments can enter our food chain and water supply, with unknown long-term consequences. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Hannah Dunning, CEO of the Clean Media Agency. Hannah is the Host of the Hannah Dunning Project.

During this Live, we’re going to discuss the first steps to take for creating a low-tox closet, what to consider why buying undergarments, common materials to avoid in clothing, and so much more.
