Verified by Toppr

The synthetic fibres are made up of mainly petrochemicals, so their manufacture does not depend upon trees and plants. The synthetic fibres fulfil needs of people to a great extent in the forms of clothes and a large number items required in various spheres of life.

Thus, the cutting and felling of trees and destruction of forests is avoided. Hence, indirectly the use' of synthetic fibres is actually helping conservation of forests.
