Textiles are now the largest source of global primary microplastic pollution and have even been detected in the deepest parts of the ocean. This is why it is useful to understand what companies are doing to address and minimise the impact of microfibres on the environment, oceans, marine animals and our health. 

A note on the scoring system

WikiRate has a standardised 10-point scoring system making it possible to compare company scores across different benchmarks. On WikiRate.org, the Fashion Transparency Index scoring system, where each company can get a maximum of 250 points, has been converted to the 10-point scoring system - with 10 being the highest a company can score and 0 being the lowest. These company scores can also be translated to percentages e.g. if a company has scored 2.5 out of 10 on WikiRate, they have achieved 25% of the 250 points in the Fashion Transparency Index.
