Our mission
To work towards zero impact from fibre fragmentation from textiles to the natural environment.
The Microfibre Consortium work to connect deep academic research with the reality of commercial supply chain production. Our goal is to offer solutions to brands, retailers and manufacturers to transform textile production for the greater good of our ecosystems.
The microfibre roadmap details the path forward and the specific steps we will take to meet our commitment, setting out clear milestones.
A global commitment to work towards zero impact from fibre fragmentation from textiles to the natural environment by 2030.
Our value
The Microfibre Consortium convenes a global community of organisations, leading the way toward mitigating fibre fragmentation from textile design, development and manufacturing through science-led action.
We take a holistic approach to create change through design & development and in manufacturing.
We keep science at the core of our work.
