Cotton vs Organic Cotton
Polyester vs Recycled Polyester
Growing cotton uses an enormous amount of water. For producing 1kg od cotton we need to use 20,000 liters water. You will be surprised but organic cotton has the same quality as conventional cotton, BUT doesn’t have the negative impact on the environment.
Polyester
Polyester is synthetic, and it is derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum (non-renewable resource). Polyester fibers are formed from chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol.
-
Polyester can’t be recycled
-
Polyester is not biodegradable, and can shed toxic microfibers
-
Polyester get smelly
Recycled Polyester
One of the biggest benefits of recycled polyester is that it can be recycled again and again. This means garment manufacture could potentially become a closed loop system!
