LEEDS - The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) has launched what it claims is the world’s first thoroughly tested, validated and internationally-aligned method for measuring microfibre material loss from textiles.
Developed at the University of Leeds, the microfibre shedding test has now been released to TMC members who will provide feedback ahead of a planned subsequent release to the wider industry.
The test is designed to enable research that leads to product development change and a reduction in microfibre shedding in the fashion, sport, outdoor and home textiles industries.
