Sunthetic fibres are made with chemicals and toxic . Just like plastic .

====================

Biodegradle are wastes that decomposes(mixes) with soil and non-biodegradle doesnt cause they are not derived from nature , but they are causing harm to nature .

Plastic and just like synthetic fibres are man made . The basic law we can conclude that the things that are made by nature mixes in nature . Like fruits and they are from trees and they will decompose in soil


Decomposition occurs when bacteria and other micro- organisms eat these substances . Synthetic fibres are actually chemicals and are ignored by these bacteria. For decomposition you should dump the material in a pit. If you try dumping synthetic fibres then you will find they wont decompose even after 10 years.


Synthetic fibres cannot be decomposed and thus are non degredable.
Best of luck
