Why viscose/rayon production is bad for women and environment even if technically bio-degradable.

Went thrifting for my birthday and had a hell of a time finding "summer" clothes that weren't either all polyester or poly blends, and the one thing I bought that were all cotton (shorts) ended up being too small once I got home (thrift store doesn't let you try on clothes since covid and quite frankly I'm flumoxed as to how I ever thought that was sanitary in the first place). I ended up having to settle for rayon/viscose, which I've never actually worn bc I despise the rayon industry (we have ZERO information on the safety and protections of Asian laborers who produce rayon, so I suspect the process is just as dangerous as when Agnés Humbert nearly went permanently blind when forced to produce rayon as slave labor in a Nazi prison camp), and I vastly prefer cotton and linen, but since it was used and rayon is kinda breezy I had to capitulate to it

Viscose manufactured solely from recycled materials

At present, viscose textiles are made of biomass from the forest, and there is no such thing as fully recycled viscose. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now succeeded in making new viscose -- from worn-out cotton sheets. Old textiles around the world end up at the rubbish tip and are often burned. In Sweden, they are generally burned to produce district heating. Extensive development work is being conducted to give old clothes and textiles a worthier end. The planet really needs recycled textiles, as it takes a lot of energy, water and land to cultivate cotton and other plant sources for textiles.
