Natural fiber clothing and home goods: cotton, wool, linen, hemp, and more
Most clothing today is made from plastic. Polyester, nylon, and acrylic shed microplastic particles with every wash, particles that end up in waterways, drinking water, and human tissue.
Every brand in this directory uses natural fibers only. We verify each one. No synthetics, no greenwashing.

What synthetic clothing leaves behind
Polyester, nylon, and acrylic shed microplastic fibers with every wash. The research on where those fibers end up has grown substantially in recent years.
In the water
A single wash releases up to 6.3 million microplastic fibers per kilogram of synthetic fabric. A single water treatment facility still releases up to 65 million fibers per day into waterways, even achieving 98% removal.

In the body
Microplastics have been detected in 8 of 12 human organ systems, including cardiac tissue in surgical patients and brain tissue at concentrations higher than liver or kidney. Research into health effects is ongoing.

In the ocean
Synthetic textiles are estimated to contribute approximately 35% of global primary microplastic pollution reaching the oceans — the single largest source category.
