Acetate is made from wood pulp or cotton linters, but the transformation process relies on a cocktail of petroleum-based chemicals.
Though it has a smooth feel and elegant drape, acetate’s production involves toxic solvents and plasticisers like phthalates, raising concerns around pollution, worker safety, and microplastic shedding across the product’s life.
Despite its plant-based origins, acetate functions more as a plastic, and mainstream production typically lacks circularity or robust environmental safeguards.
