Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry - Analyzing Solutions to Fashion’s Plastic Problem was the title of my final capstone project during my studies as a Sustainable Environmental Systems Msc graduate at Pratt Institute.

The below is a presentation based on the final report, which can be accessed here. My research focused on how microplastic from synthetic clothing makes its way into the environment, its effect on animals and humans, along with potential upstream and downstream solutions and the role of regulation.
