Fibre2Fashion - Textile Magazine - September 2018

Book excerpt: Since 2004, alarming findings about microplastics in the oceans have been multiplying at a rate too high for comfort. Much of the microplastics are microfibres, almost all of which come from clothing. These microplastics/microfibres are finding their way back into the human food chain through fishes and even water. The September 2018 issue of Fibre2Fashion explores at length the subject of microfibres. What you can also read is an analysis of the recent import duty hike by the Indian government, Q&A on the Clean Fibre Initiative and Asmara Group and other regular features. Fibre2Fashion magazine—the print venture of Fibre2Fashion.com since 2011—is circulated among a carefully-chosen target audience globally, and reaches the desks of top management and decision-makers in the textiles, apparel and fashion industry. As one of India's leading industry magazines for the entire textile value chain, Fibre2Fashion Magazine takes the reader beyond the mundane headlines, and analyses issues in-depth.
