Classification notes
Polyester / nylon / rayon dominate. Recycled-content claims (rPET, ECONYL) increasingly require sustainability documentation at destination.
Frequent misclassification
Synthetic vs. artificial — synthetic = made from petrochemicals (polyester, nylon); artificial = made from natural cellulose (rayon, viscose, lyocell).
