Eco Designer Clothing Alternatives
Eco Friendly
clothing is sweeping the nation and I think it's a great thing for
people to take notice of and embrace. The United States of America is
the greatest nation on the face of the earth and have a conscious
effort promoted by the people themselves the country will be better
off. Thinking about fashion and good sense the term eco
friendly clothing surely is the next best thing!
If you are
unaware of what type of eco products that are currently being
produced for comsumers you might need to examine that a little deeper
so you know what the alternatives are for keeping America on the
leading edge of eco consciousness concerning the clothing
industry. If there is more demand for eco-wear then the
manufacturers will provide great new
products.
Available Eco Clothing
Bamboo fabric
is created from the bamboo pulp. It does not need chlorine to bleach
it and it can be dyed easily with minimal water requirements. Fabrics
that do not dye easily are often treated with harsh chemicals and
much more water, so an organic fabric that dyes easy is generally
better for the environment.
Organic
cotton
is much more environmentally friendly
than the traditional variety as it uses no pesticides, herbicides, or
insecticides during the growing cycle. There are many growers of this
crop, and the number is steadily increasing.
Hemp fabric
is also an eco-friendly crop that can solve many problems and produce
quality clothing. The clothes are very fine indeed and best of
all Hemp requires no pesticide, survives on little water, and it
renews the soil with each repeating crop - truly eco friendly.
Recycled
Polyester
is a great alternative in that it takes used plastic bottles and
makes clothing out of
them. Some of the items that can be made are fleece
sweatshirts, hats, coats, scarves and even gloves. A
drawback for recycled fleece is that it is not a natural fiber. |
