In older days we had only fibers from animals and plants, e.g. wool, cotton, hemp, etc. Nowadays many fibres are made in factories (they are man-made) as nylon and many others with names ending in -lon or -lene.

Is denim a manmade or natural fibre?

Denim is primarily made from cotton, which is a natural fiber, but it often includes synthetic fibers such as polyester or elastane to enhance its durability and stretch. Therefore, while the base material of denim is natural, the final fabric can be considered a blend of natural and manmade fibers. This combination allows denim to have desirable properties like strength and flexibility.


Do natural fibers decompose faster than manmade fibers?

Yes, natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk decompose faster than man-made fibers like polyester and nylon because they are made from organic materials that can be broken down by natural processes. Man-made fibers are typically derived from petroleum-based products and do not decompose as easily.
