Synthetics
Why Choose Natural Fiber Fabric over Synthetics?
Non renewable resource
Requires more energy to make
Washing emits tiny plastic particles that find their way into our natural waterways
Wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to take these out of the water
Drying synthetics releases toxins into the air
Chemicals used in synthetic fabrics are experimented on animals
Recycling requires more chemicals and energy
Millions of tons of unused fabric go to waste each year when dyed the wrong color
Villages near textile factories experience high cancer rates
Nanoparticles can be toxic to humans and aquatic life, introducing new and unexpected forms of pollution
Chemical plants destroy the beauty of our landscape
