ClearInvestigation of ring, airjet and rotor spun yarn structures on the fragmented fibers (microplastics) released from polyester textiles during laundering
This study tested whether the type of yarn structure used in polyester fabrics affects how many microplastic fibers are shed during washing. Fabrics made from airjet and rotor yarns released 28% and 33% less fiber mass, respectively, than those made from the more common ring-spun yarn, and they shed shorter fiber fragments. Since textile washing is one of the major routes for microplastics entering wastewater, this finding suggests that changing yarn manufacturing processes could meaningfully reduce textile microplastic pollution at the source.
Characterization of Microplastics Released Based on Polyester Fabric Construction during Washing and Drying
Researchers characterized microplastic fiber release from polyester fabrics during washing and drying, finding that fabric construction type significantly influences fiber shedding rates, with looser fabric structures releasing substantially more microplastic fibers per wash cycle.

Reducing microfiber release from polyester fabrics through optimization of spinning process parameters

Weave structures of polyester fabric affect the tensile strength and microplastic fiber emission during the laundry process
Researchers found that polyester fabric weave structure affects both tensile strength and microplastic fiber shedding during laundry, with satin and twill weaves showing higher warp-direction strength, and quantified how fiber release varies by weave type at different washing stages.
Impact of textile composition, structure, and treatment on microplastic release during washing: a review
This review analyzed how textile composition, yarn structure, and fabric treatment affect microplastic release during washing, finding that natural and blended fabrics often shed more microfibers than pure synthetics. Woven fabrics released fewer microplastics than knitted structures, and finishing treatments also influenced shedding rates.
Quantification of shedding propensity of polyesterfabrics in the washing process
Researchers quantified microplastic shedding from three polyester fabric types — woven, knitted, and double-faced plush — under standardized washing conditions at 60°C using gravimetric analysis and physicochemical characterization of wastewater over 5- and 10-cycle wash experiments. Results showed fabric structure influences shedding propensity, and that the majority of fragments are released during the first washing cycles.

Quantification and morphological characterization of microfibers emitted from textile washing
Textile microfibers released during washing machine cycles were quantified and characterized, with the study finding that fiber type, fabric construction, and wash conditions all influenced emission quantities.

Release of microplastic fibers from synthetic textiles during household washing
Researchers measured how much microplastic fiber different synthetic fabrics release during home washing, finding that woven fabrics shed more than knitted ones and thicker, heavier fabrics released more fibers overall. Notably, recycled polyester released more microplastic fibers than virgin polyester under the same conditions. The study also found that the optional pre-wash cycle releases significantly more fibers than the main wash, suggesting skipping it could reduce pollution.

This matters because these microscopic plastic fragments can end up in our drinking water and food chain, potentially affecting human health.
