Coton, laine : la face cachée de nos matières naturelles

The episode investigates the most common natural fabrics in wardrobes—wool and cotton. Most wool used in the textile industry comes from Australia, where sheep are genetically selected and often mutilated at birth. France, despite producing a lot of wool, lacks a valorisation chain, forcing producers to discard it. Cotton is now primarily grown in Brazil on chemically‑intensive fields. Additionally, garments dropped off at “ressourceries” (reuse centres) frequently end up buried in landfills.
