The GoalThis research project designed a management plan for Patagonia, which ideally will be adapted and used by other companies in the apparel industry. The project sought to determine the magnitude of microsynthetic fibers generated from clothing, explore their potential impacts on the marine environment, and determine the contribution Patagonia's apparel makes to the issue. In addition to the management plan, the project included an in-depth literature review that provided an up-to-date understanding of microfiber impacts from researchers around the world.
