here is the receipt.
the claim

Wool production has a larger environmental footprint per kilogram than synthetic fibers such as polyester.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wool production has a larger environmental footprint per kilogram than synthetic fibers such as polyester?

Unclear. The retrieved items give polyester's production emissions (about 27.2 kg CO2 per kg) and general claims that natural fibers have lower environmental footprints, but none reports wool's footprint per kilogram, so no direct wool-versus-polyester comparison is established.
