El fet. Microfibres tèxtils de plàstic: de la rentadora al plat Authors Anna Sanchez Vidal Institut d'Estudis Catalans Abstract Anem al supermercat amb la bossa de cotó i la carmanyola de vidre, comprem la fruita a granel, emplenem la cantimplora amb aigua de la font, i reciclem tot el plàstic que ens arriba a les mans. Però la nostra petjada en plàstic és més gran del que pensem per culpa de les microfibres amb les quals fabriquem la roba. Des de l’impermeable i el folre polar amb què ens abriguem a l’hivern o la samarreta transpirable d’anar al gimnàs i fins a les cortines o la catifa del menjador. Les microfibres tèxtils de polietilè, polièster, polipropilè o poliamida, de colors vius i pocs mil·límetres de longitud, s’alliberen durant el procés de producció, ús i rentat i són, actualment, ubiqües al nostre planeta.
