This agenda covers clothing evolution from past natural fibers like cotton and wool—biodegradable and chemical-free—to modern synthetics like polyester, nylon, and acrylic, which are durable but polluting. It concludes with a comparison of benefits, drawbacks, environmental impacts, and future sustainable innovations.
Agenda
- Clothes in the Past
Natural fibers like cotton and wool from plants, animals; biodegradable.
- Natural Materials
