The Truth About Sustainable Fabrics?

1. What is sustainable fabric? "Sustainable fabrics" refer to fabrics that are recyclable, degradable after use, and have a transparent supply chain. They have less pressure on the environment during the manufacturing process and have low environmental pollution, durable, and recyclable fabrics. .

2. Organic cotton When we talk about sustainable materials, we may first think of organic cotton. Organic cotton will not be polluted by pesticides from planting to use, and more organic cotton is used in infant products. All natural and pollution-free, this is also a very marketable marketing strategy. There are also products such as "organic cotton face towels" that also use organic cotton. Cotton is a raw material that accounts for a high proportion of the clothing material market. The consumption of water and pesticides has always been a problem for cotton cultivation, and organic cotton is one of the current solutions. Generally speaking, compared with traditional cotton, organic cotton advocates the use of no chemical waste and pesticides to reduce soil damage, and secondly reduces water consumption to reduce resource consumption. International standards for organic cotton are relatively high. North America can refer to certifications such as USDA. There are also special organic cotton certification agencies in China. However, domestic certification is not necessarily recognized by foreign countries. If you want to export, you must use international standards. Organic cotton is very popular in the North American market. This also depends on market demand. The United States and Europe currently have the largest demand for organic cotton. On the whole, the market demand will increase, the source of supply and other aspects will be more secure, and the industry will solve problems in a more standardized manner. However, because organic cotton does not use chemicals and a small amount of water, can it really be environmentally friendly? I want to share that the yield of organic cotton is very low. Compared with traditional cotton, if you want to obtain the same amount of cotton fiber, organic cotton needs more land resources to grow. Therefore, it actually has its own limitations.
