Testex, a leading Swiss testing and certification company, has launched a new service to test textiles for microplastics. This innovative testing method is designed to detect the presence of microplastics that may be released from fabrics during washing and wear.
With increasing concerns over environmental pollution caused by synthetic fibers shedding microplastics into waterways, the new service aims to help textile manufacturers, retailers, and consumers understand and mitigate the impact of microplastics from clothing. The testing will enable companies to evaluate and reduce the environmental footprint of their products, aligning with growing consumer demand for more sustainable and eco-friendly fashion.
Testex’s microplastics testing is part of a broader initiative to improve textile sustainability and ensure that products meet global standards for environmental responsibility. The company’s move comes at a critical time as governments and organizations around the world continue to address the pollution of oceans and waterways with tiny plastic particles.
The service is expected to play a key role in promoting greater transparency in the fashion industry and supporting brands in their efforts to create more sustainable and responsible products.
