No point. The wool I've gotten on this website (Sportscraft) pilled like crazy after only a couple of minor wears so I'm sick of it (even handwashing on its own with wool wash). I only buy my wools from adventure stores now (like Kathmandu) because I know it will last. Synthetics serve a role. They are lightweight, varying degrees of warmth, and they fall nicely. I don't buy many woven fabrics because I work and live with animals and the fur gets lodged in the weave making it very difficult to remove.
With regards to your comment on "carsinogens" (carcinogens) - a chemical becomes a carcinogen if it can alter a biological pathways in such a way that may predispose cells to exhibit behaviours associated with tumours. The chemical (PVC material) would probably need to be ingested, or broken down and the particles ingested (like having PVC in the sun in the water and then drinking the water - like what happens in the environment). Touching the bag briefly while you open it will not do this. So you need not worry. It is, however, not great if they end up in the environment. I recycle my bags at the supermarket via soft plastic programs and hope for the best.

Regarding comment made Dec 18, 2020 - achieving organic certification also requires jumping through a lot of hoops (and fees).
