Malaysia dumps 2 million kg of textile waste every single day.
🧵 The TL;DR:
1. Discarded fabric makes up nearly 5% of Malaysia’s daily landfill volume.
2. Synthetic fast-fashion pieces (polyester/nylon) sit in our soil for up to 200 years, leaching microplastics and toxic dyes into local waterways.
3. 100% pure natural fibers (linen & organic cotton) break down safely in 6–12 months without plastic pollution.
The fix? Check your labels, rewear what you own, and choose breathable, biodegradable natural staples.
