Delicate washing machine cycles contribute most to microfibre pollution, research finds

The video discusses the release of plastic microfibers from clothes during washing, highlighting that high water flow, rather than agitation, is the main cause. Delicate cycles release more fibers due to increased water volume. Recommendations include avoiding delicate cycles, using full loads, and conserving water and energy. Microfibers can carry pollutants, posing environmental risks. The video also covers the process of collecting microfibers from wastewater for analysis.
