M33 - Conference paper at an international conference, printed in full

The production of clothes has significant impacts on the environment since the textile industry has high demands regarding the use of land, water, energy, chemicals, etc. The major pollution comes from the production phase of textiles. However, various pollutants could be emitted during the specific processes of clothes manufacturing, such as bleaching, dyeing, printing, etc. The lowest impact on the climate change is associated with clothes made from natural fibers compared to the synthetic ones, of which polyester has the lowest impact. Public awareness of the environmental pollution with microplastics is increasing in recent years, while the textile industry is recognized as one of the major sources of microplastics in the oceans.
