Prevent Microplastic Pollution with the Fighting Fibers Act of 2024

Scientists estimate that millions of tons of microfibers enter the ocean every year—making textiles the largest known source of marine microplastic pollution.

The Fighting Fibers Act of 2024 introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) in July of 2024 focuses on one of the most significant sources of this pollution: our laundry. The Act would require all new washing machines to include microfiber filtration and would also commission research on the impact of microfibers in our water.
