Need clarification for following wordings[edit]

"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]
