Annual Insights Report: A summary of data from The Microfibre Data Portal
April 2025
A statistical overview of fibre fragment loss across fabric types
Summary
This report provides an annual quantitative summary to credibly monitor and report on the general status of fibre fragment loss in tested finished fabrics, as it changes over time.
Reasons to download:
A summary of:
The structure and quantities of the fabrics submitted to the data portal, broken down by common fabric properties, such as yarn type and fabric structure.
The number of fabrics submitted to The Microfibre Data Portal over time.
The overall median of fabric fibre fragment loss within the Microfibre Data Portal.
Greater context to enable comparison.
Key Takeaways
This report helps identify areas in which the dataset is imbalanced to guide future testing and close the data gaps. Continuing efforts will be made to encourage the testing and submission of under-represented fabric types, including natural fabric types like cotton or wool, and man-made cellulosic fabrics.
