The environmental impact of the textile industry has become a major issue for consumers, and when considering the environmental performance of fibers then the common consumer assumption is that "natural" fibres are more environmentally friendly than man-made or synthetic fibres like TACTEL® fiber. However this is a misleading and often inaccurate assumption. When handled responsibly then the production and processing of TACTEL® fiber compares favorably with natural fibres in terms of environmental impact.
