Sustainable alternatives include wool dryer balls, which are reusable and can reduce drying time, saving energy. Additionally, there are eco-friendly dryer sheets made from plant-based or compostable materials, minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional options.
Many dryer sheets contain a thin layer of polyester, a type of plastic, to impart a soft texture. This plastic component can contribute to environmental pollution and is not easily biodegradable.
Traditional dryer sheets can take years to break down due to their synthetic materials. The exact time varies based on environmental conditions, but their slow decomposition contributes to environmental persistence.
Traditional dryer sheets often contain synthetic chemicals that can harm the environment. When used, these chemicals may be released into the air and wastewater, contributing to pollution.
