  "whyPlastic": "Cotton, linen, hemp and wool are plain fibers, and the plastic comes in through what stitches, binds and finishes them. Thread is polyester unless the maker names cotton. Fitted sheets gather at the corners with elastic, which is spandex or rubber of an unnamed kind. Blanket edges are bound in a nylon or polyester tape. Duvet covers close with polyester zip tape or resin buttons. \"Wrinkle-free\" and \"easy-care\" sheets are finished with a cross-linking resin, and a down duvet can have a polyester shell.",
