I don't think that is true, but am open to learning otherwise.
A quick review of Wikipedia indicates dimethylol ethylene urea (DMEU) is used to crosslink the cellulose polymers itself.
Cotton is already a polymer (albeit a bio-degradable one). DMEU is not a polymer/plastic in its own right.
As far as I was able to see, permanent press is biodegradable.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoDMEU is a synthectic bonding resin. but im not sure that by itself is in any way a problem. Are you talking about pattens that are sublimated onto cotton shirts?
