This product is made primarily from Recycled cotton and Acrylic.
Recycled cotton compared to conventional cotton requires about 55% less water, it reduces by 66% the energy consumption and by 35% greenhouse gas emissions. Despite being biodegradable, can be finished with chemicals that can hinder its biodegradability. So eco impact is low.
Acrylic fibre is made at least of 85% acrylonitrile, its production is related to fossil fuels depletion. The manufacturing of this fibre also releases toxic fumes in the atmosphere. Acrylic fibres takes up to 200 years to biodegrade and acrylic items washed at home release high quantities of micro plastics that contribute to water pollution. So eco impact is high eco impact.
