The Pods Are Plastic bill faces uncertain prospects in the New York City Council. If it does pass, however, it will only go a short way toward mitigating laundry-related microplastic pollution.

Scientists at Cornell Unoversity in the US have developed a chemistry toolbox to clean up a formidable environmental foe: polyester textile waste. The concept has the potential to disrupt the textiles and apparel production business,
