Hey there
Yes, Synthetic fibres are non-biodegradable.
Let me explain you now!
They are nothing but man made fibres. They are actually polymers interconnected by a chain of smaller units by polymerization.
Microorganisms like bacteria help in decomposing (breaking into simpler substances by nature) the bio wastes, but synthetic fibres aren't made biologically in nature, as they are chemically bonded they aren't biodegradable.
So they take a very long time to be decomposed.
For example,
Nylon cannot be decomposed so easily, they take hundreds of years actually to be broken down and they aren't Eco friendly.
Hope this helps you

Synthetic fibers are non-biodegradable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Synthetic fibers are the man made fires such as nylon , polyester etc
These fibers are made by the help of the process called the polymerization, the synthetic fibers are made by a large number of monomers and polymers which is very difficult to get degraded naturally on earth by the microorganisms present on earth and many chemicals are used during the manufacturing of these fibers
these fibers have some similarities with the plastic , if we burn these fibers they will melt which makes them similar to plastic
Synthetic fibers will takes thousands of years to get decompose in nature and they are very harmful to our environment
