"Further, about two thirds of synthetic fibers from clothing production will be found in the ocean from 2015 to 2050." I couldn't get a look at the contents of ciation, but I strongly doubt it. It looks to me that during this period (between 2015 to 2050), 2 thirds of the clothing will use synthietic fibers for production, and part of it will end up in the oceans by shedding microfibers. Can anyone help clarify? Thanks. ThomasYehYeh ( talk) 12:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree with ThomasYehYeh's interpretation and disputing of the sentence as written. I removed it altogether, as it's pretty odd to have anything close to such a definite statement about nearly 30 years in the future. DMacks ( talk) 18:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC) reply
