Hi everyone
I'm back up north - still in Manchester but heading to Macclesfield shortly.

This link came into my FB stream this morning - you may have already seen it or heard about it.  I'm not surprised based on what we have seen in our very limited scientific research of UK coastal waters.  The sad thing is that fleece fabric may be a significant contributor to these fibre, and yet it was hailed as the great breakthrough in how to recycle plastic bottles - many fleece manufacturers use recycled plastic bottles.

I will continue to post in this blog, for those interested in my future work with plastics.
