The Microplastics Challenge

Into the Textile Industry

TÜV Rheinland organised a webinar on microplastics, in which world renowned speakers shared their professional views on the impacts of microplastics on environment, and the on-going research and innovation for better design and mitigation. Thanks to the permission from TUV, this webinar can now be accessed on Matters Academy.

Through this sharing, we hope you will become more aware of the challenge that microplastics poses on the world, and have a better understanding on microplastics pollution in the textile industry, including the current situation of plastic pollution, on-going research & innovation, regional scaling research, and the weaving of eco-system.
