I read this article, which stated that the US government had banned domestic production of rayon many years ago. That may be true, but I could find no evidence of such a ban in any of the literature I read to try to confirm that statement. Instead, there are dozens of articles about the uses of rayon as thread and as fabric. Perhaps all that rayon is being produced somewhere else, but I would like confirmation that it is no longer produced in the US because the production process causes so much pollution. If it is being produced exclusively somewhere else, the decision to suspend domestic production probably involves lower production costs. However, if you find cofirmation that rayon is not produced in the United States because its production caused so much pollution, please let me know because it will be a signal to prepare for the end of the world. froggyintexas
