This article needs work and is still somewhat promotional

This is mostly myself writing for later - but here's what I'm planning to rewrite and change:

Currently, there's little information here about the exact nature of Econyl - such as that the fibre is "at least 50% salvaged fishing nets and post-consumer carpets" (per this source, so that needs adding in;
There's also the issue that it is ocean-bound, i.e. it's not in the ocean yet but it's close enough that it'll end up there eventually, plastic, not plastic recovered from the ocean; no large-scale project to recover ocean plastic, which is often too degraded and contaminated to be of use, currently exists, so this needs clarifying;
It also needs noting that, per the source mentioned above, "no certifying body exists with the power to define the composition of ocean plastic fiber or verify the claims put forward by manufacturers and brands", so what is said about Econyl on this page needs a critical eye thrown at it, because I don't see one currently;
And also, I'm gonna split the article into some headers, instead of one long lead.

Hope this is clear enough. If I find a relevant ocean plastic pollution article I can have a look at for sources, I will. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
