¿Es realmente tan malo el poliéster y las fibras sintéticas?
Hoy puedes comprar ropa, de forma fácil y muy barata, pero a todos nos ha pasado que lo que llega a la casa no se ve para nada como en las fotos y se siente aun peor, en la gran mayoría de los casos, estas prendas resultan ser de materiales sintéticos como poliéster, esta fibra con la que se intenta imitar
Entonces, ¿seria la solución dejar de comprar fibras sintéticas completamente? ¿ayudaría eso con los micro plásticos?
