I assume this has to do with coatings like scotchguard, as opposed to the composition, which isn't much different from packing materials and other household trash.
But do they deny landfilling entire types clothing because of the coatings of very few of them?
- rasz 5y agoI wouldnt read too much into that. It costs money to dump at a landfill, desert is free.
