Non-woven papers can contain a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers (often cellulose and petroleum-derived polyester) unless otherwise noted. The textile part of fabric wallpaper like cotton, silk, raffia, and linens vary widely in their eco-friendliness depending on pesticides, fertilizer, and other practices needed to grow them. They’re sometimes laminated onto regular wallpaper. Both non-woven and fabric types can sometimes be coated with VOC-emitting vinyl or acrylic. Depending on the type of wallpaper, it can take several hours or even days to properly remove old wallpaper. It may need to be steamed off or scraped off by hand. So take your time when choosing so you’ll be happy with your choice.

Some can even be reused, so if you’re moving you can take it with you.
