Organic textiles are naturally ecological without any kind
of surveillance or controlled conditions. These fibers are grown in places where
it is not necessary to use fertilizers or pesticides. They are biodegradable
and have very little negative impact on the earth's environment when the fibers
are transformed into fabric through processes that are similarly
earth-friendly.
Ecological fabrics are renewable, that is, they are capable
of being replaced or replaced by natural processes at a comparable rate or
faster than their consumption rate. techqueer
Organic tissues must meet the following criteria
There are low levels of pesticide residues present in the
fabric.
The concentration of formaldehyde and heavy metals does not
exceed a certain percentage.
The PH value is neutral or slightly acidic
. Carcinogenic dyeing materials are not used.
Types of organic and sustainable fabrics
Below you can see a list of the best ecological textiles
(organic and ecological). Next time you're at a tarp store, ask if you'd like
to add your grain of sand.
Hemp
Hemp is a bast fiber and is counted as a very sustainable
fibers. When the plant (from which this fibers is derived) is thriving, no
pesticide or fertilizer is required. It thrives without the need for
fertilizers and naturally distracts pests. It still releases nutrients into the
soil - in what way! It has the least impacts on the ecology for multiple
reasons like this.
The hemp fiber production process and the textile
manufacturing process are partially safer and have very little negative impact
on the environment.
Organic or organics
cotton Cotton productions is touted as one of the most
polluting processes in manufacturing. As cottons is the most widely used
natural fiber on the planet (it is estimated that around sixty percent of all
clothing on the planet is made of cotton), this results in enormous ecological
damage. When we depend on organic processes in the cultivation and textile
manufacturing processes, the quality of cotton increases substantially.
Organic cotton, therefore naturally grown and transformed
into fibers and then into fabric, is hypoallergenic. There is no fear of
eruptions caused by contaminating remains in the tissue
Muslin or calicos is unbleached cotton and you can call it
organic since it does not undergo the finishes that cotton canvas generally
goes through.
Bamboo Bamboo
tarp is a naturally eco-friendly tarp made from the pulp of
a bamboo tree. The bamboo tree does not need any kind of pesticide or
fertilizer to thrive - they are abundant in the places where they thrive. It
can be transformed into yarn without using any chemicals. The fiber is
biodegradable, renewable and simple to sustain (no dry cleaning required). The
manufacture of the final product may involve certain chemical processes and
environmentalists point to the discharge of toxic residues as a negative aspect
of this fabric - but compared to regular cotton, bamboo is “more ecological”
Ramie
Ramie is a plant fiber and generates a very sustainable
fabric. The plant can be harvested about six times a year and thrives without
the aid of fertilizers or other chemicals. Organic Jute
Jute is a thick, coppery fiber from the stem of the bast
plant, grown in India. The fabric made from this fiber is robust, biodegradable
and recyclable. When it is made with organic processes, there is no more
ecological textile than this. Tencel
Tencel is the brand names (Lenzing Fibers) for lyocell, made
with eucalyptus wood pulp cellulose. The production of Tencel is very
ecological since it uses very little water compared to the production of other
vegetable fibers (The waste of good water resources is a huge ecological
concern worldwide). It is fully biodegradable and also hypoallergenic. Organic
flax Organic flax is made from naturally organically grown
flax fibers. Organic linen is renewable and biodegradable. Linen as such is
ecological, since it does not require many chemicals to grow, but you cannot
call it one hundred percent ecological, since many chemical processes are
required to transform flax fibers into linen canvas. This is where organic
linen triumphs.Organic silk
This refers to a beautiful silk fabric made in the most
organic way possible - no pesticides, insecticides or belligerent chemicals are
used in the productions of the silk fiber and the fabric manufacturing
processes is also as organic as possibles . The result is a very softs and
beautiful silk. Recyclable pet fabric In such a case, the threads are made from
recycled (used) plastic bottles or from rejected bottles purchased from bottle
companies. This reduces debris and creates less pollutions. Other names for
this fabrics are Recycled Polyester Canvas and PET Spun Canvas At the end of a
fabric's life, recyclable polyester can be reclaimed and recycled to create new
raw materials for future products.
Polylactic Acid Fabric
PLA is a flexible fiber, made from polylactic acid extracted
from genetically disturbed corn. It is a biodegradables and bioactive
thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as
corn starch (in the US and Canada), cassava roots, chips or starch (primarily
in Asia), or sugar cane (from Wikipedia).
PLA fiber is transformed into PLA fabric. It is
biodegradable and renewable. Fabric has polyester and nylon properties
eleven. eleven. Sustainable Fabrics
Refers to fabrics made from fibers that are not depleted or
permanently damaged when the fiber is made and renewed with harvest cycles of 5
years or less. The eggs are alpaca, mohair, wool, cork. Fibers already
mentioned such as hemp, bamboo, cotton, flax are also sustainable fibers
Modal
Modal is a rayon-like fabric made from reconstituted
cellulose from beech trees. The beech tree can grow without requiring auxiliary
irrigation or the application of fertilizers or pesticides; To top it all,
beech serves as a soil enhancer. The fabric made from it is biodegradables and
renewable.
Ramie
Ramie is a super strong and ecological vegetable fiber like
hemp or flax. Canvas is akin to linen. It is resistant to mold and bacteria.
Organics
wool Wool refers to the soft curly hairs of sheeps and other
animals such as alpaca, camel, cashmere goat. It is a renewable fiber and
therefore can be called ecological, but due to the fact that the wool
extraction process and its conversion into fabric make it anything but
ecological due to the different chemical products used. But organic wool is
different. It follows strict guidelines when it comes to hormones that are
given to animals, pesticides that are used in pastures. They are only given to
organically grown edible animals.
Recycled fabric
What do you with dresses and T-shirts that no longer fit you
or are no longer in trend? You can take the canvas from these and transform
them into clothes. Nothing can be greener.
Creating a quality tarp at a competitive cost while reducing
the ecological impact is quite difficult but not inaccessible for tarpaulin
manufacturing companies. The latest technology is used in each and every
manufacturing stage to minimize environmental impact. The use of organic fibers
and ecological dyes have altered the ecological perspective to a certain
extent. Now designers and users must be aware and take a stand.
No effort should be spared to sustain the ecological balance
of our earth. How long do we dares to live like an ostrichs pretending to
ignore the damage to our environment by our selfish desires? Fashion is
fleeting, but the land has no reason to be.
