This product is made primarily from Cotton and PLA.
Conventional cotton harvesting and manufacturing is associated with a comparatively very high water footprint and high use of chemicals and pesticides. So its eco impact is high. Despite being biodegradable often dyeing and finishing undermines its biodegradability.
PLA fabric , despite being derived from renewable sources such as cane sugar and corn, in terms of manufacturing undergoes an extensive chemical process and its eutrophication footprint is comparatively medium-high. So eco impact is high eco impact.
