Following on from our first episode where we discovered what microfibres are and their potential harm to our environment. In this episode we hear about the solutions that the textile industry and academia are trying to put in place to reduce microfibres shedding into our land, waterways and even the human body!
In this episode we are joined by Professor Muhammed Tausif (Associate Professor in sustainable manufacturing)
