∙ 7y ago"Sik cotton" is neither a cotton or silk, it is a fibrous material from a species of tree found in western Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia Little is recorded on studies of the environmental impacts of the cultivation of the tree. It may be assumed that it does not share cotton's high water , pesticide requirements or other attributes. However this question relates to a comparison of silk cotton to actual silk.
No indication is given to the societal issues around the gathering and processing of the fibre.
Silk is produced by feeding cultivated silkworms on the leaves of the mulberry tree. This tree is hardy with low water and protective chemical needs. The silk worm is so domesticated that it cannot survive in the wild. There is some concern that the killing of the silk worms is a concern. While this may be a problem to some from moral grounds there is no environmental problem associated with the practice. The collected larva are popular snack food in some countries such as Korea (Beondegiand the custom is analogous to eating eggs or other animal protein.
From the above it would appear that the two fibres are of equivalent environmental impact.
