Biodegradable Textiles

Biodegradable textiles are fabrics made from natural or specially treated materials that can break down naturally in the environment over time. Unlike synthetic textiles, which can persist for decades, biodegradable textiles decompose through natural processes involving bacteria and fungi, returning to the earth as organic matter. This reduces pollution and waste in landfills, making them an eco-friendly choice. Common biodegradable materials include organic cotton, hemp, linen, and certain biodegradable plastics. They are increasingly used to create sustainable clothing, home textiles, and packaging, supporting environmental conservation efforts by minimizing long-term environmental impact.
