Spandex, also known as elastane, is not considered environmentally friendly due to its production process, which involves petrochemicals and significant energy use. Additionally, it is not biodegradable, contributing to plastic pollution in landfills and oceans. However, some manufacturers are exploring sustainable alternatives and recycling methods to reduce the environmental impact of spandex. Overall, while advancements are being made, traditional spandex remains a challenge for sustainability.
