Wastewater microfibers contribute to potential pollution on Kenyan coastline
Washing clothes releases microfibers, which can be synthetic (plastic) and non-synthetic, but little is understood about the environmental impact. To better understand this, researchers teamed up with the Flipflopi project, an initiative which uses the world's first recycled plastic sailing dhow, a handmade boat constructed from materials found on African beaches, including 30,000 discarded flip flops. To date, the seven-ton boat has received more than 90,000 kg of plastics from the world's oceans.

Microfibers contain toxic chemicals that are intentionally added to textiles during the manufacturing process or that accumulate on plastic particles in the ocean.

It's very sad since I have not seen any efforts by the government to deal with plastic pollution.
