Environmentally friendly means more than simply chemical-free cleaning. I have no problem using seven-year-old cloths that are stained or which no longer match the color scheme of my kitchen, but eventually a cloths effectiveness starts to diminish (or so Im told). Im pleased to know how and where to recycle and re-purpose my Norwex products. Can microfiber products be disposed of in a way that’s environmentally friendly? Yes! First of all, microfiber is not biodegradable. If you’re concerned about the environment then you don’t want to toss worn out microfiber in trash receptacles that will end up in a landfill. However there are numerous ways to recycle microfiber. The easiest way is to take your worn out microfiber to a thrift store like Salvation Army or Goodwill. When they have textiles that don’t sell they send them off to companies that re-purpose them for things like cushioning and batting. Another way to recycle microfiber is to send them directly to the companies that re-purpose them. (from Microfiber Wholesale Blog, April 11, 2011)
