Natural materials are by definition biodegradable. That means that cotton, wool, linen and silk fulfill this criterion. Cotton and linen are cellulose based (a polysaccharide) while wool and silk are made of protein types )wool is made of keratin as is human hair). Of the others only certain types of polyesters are biodegradable such as for example polylactic acid. What is commonly labeled as polyester in garments is not biodegradable.
