Spandex (20%)

Flagged in 3

Scout's take

Synthetic polyurethane stretch fiber. Suspected primary BPA carrier in athletic wear — commonly used as a polymerization catalyst or antioxidant during elastane production. Continuously sheds microplastics during washing.

More from Scout's analyses

Spandex (20%) is a petroleum-derived stretch fiber. Higher percentages increase microplastic shedding with each wash and reduce breathability.
