How does jacquard fabric affect the environment?

The environmental impact of jacquard fabrics depends on the type of textile fibers the fabric contains. For example, cotton fabrics are highly biodegradable and cotton can be grown using sustainable and organic processes. Only synthetic fibers like polyester and rayon can be made, however, using dangerous, toxic chemicals, synthetic fibers are not biodegradable.

Of all the fibers used to make jacquard fabrics, silk and wool are the most environmentally friendly. Silkworms only live on mulberry trees, and chemical fertilizers or pesticides do not increase silk production. While wool producers sometimes abuse animals, the only major potential negative impact of wool production on the environment is soil erosion. Choose sustainable, natural and organic jacquard fabrics to avoid harming the environment.
