The environmental impact of corduroy fabric depends on the fibers it contains. Synthetic fibers are generally more harmful to the environment than natural fibers, but depending on how they are produced, natural fibers can also have a negative impact on the environment.

To make synthetic fibers such as polyester, textile manufacturers use industrial processes that generate large amounts of chemical waste. Additionally, synthetic fibers are not biodegradable, releasing environmental contaminants into the water supply with every wash.

Of the natural fibers used to make corduroy, cotton is most likely to have a negative impact on the environment. Cotton is a plant crop, and growers of this fiber often use chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which can pollute the surrounding ecosystem. However, cotton is biodegradable, which means it does not cause microfiber contamination.

Wool is one of the most sustainable textile fibers. While bodily waste from wool-producing animals can be a problem, no chemical cultures are required to produce wool. Additionally, wool is biodegradable and recyclable.
