Synthetic clothing fibers and plastic microbeads from household laundering and consumer products have long been routed to wastewater treatment plants where it is reported that most are captured in the sewage sludge and the remainder emitted in the effluent (Fendal & Swell, 2009; Gregory, 1996; Habib et al., 1998; Ziajahromi et al., 2016). In the late 1990s synthetic fibers from clothing were proposed as an indicator of wastewater environmental fluxes after it was found that concentrations of synthetic fibers decreased with increasing distance from sewage sludge application or from outfalls (Habib et al., 1998).

It has been estimated that in the last six decades, 8,300 million metric tonnes (Megatonnes; Mt) of plastic has been produced, most of it for the creation of disposable products. Of this, 6,300 Mt of plastic became waste, around 9% of which has been recycled, 12% incinerated and 79% accumulated in landfills or disposed in the natural environment (Geyer et al., 2017) and the world’s oceans: the final sink (Pham et al., 2014; Ryan, 2015), causing environmental, economic, health and aesthetic implications (Engler, 2012; Rochman et al., 2013a, b; Sheavly & Register, 2007; Silva-Iñiguez & Fischer, 2003).
