But, fabrics are everywhere around us! They are in the clothes we wear, in the sheets on our beds, and even in the furniture we sit on. But have you ever wondered where all these fabrics originate from? Several fabrics are made with materials that can be harmful to our environment and the animals who inhabit it. This is why Bornature and some companies are trying to find a better and safer alternatives for fabrics that are good for our planet.
Sustainable fibers are unique materials that are cultivated and harvested without damaging our ecosystem. For example, rather than use nasty chemicals one way to grow cotton there is an organic cotton which is grown without any harmful chemicals. So that means if you wear clothing that is made of organic cotton, you are helping to preserve the Earth! Other examples of sustainable fibers are bamboo (the fastest growing plant), hemp (the strongest fiber) and linen (from the flax plant).
Many companies once used harmful chemicals to dye and process fabrics. These chemicals could make their way into rivers and oceans, contaminating water and killing fish and other animals. Fortunately, as time goes on, even more companies are opting to create sustainable textiles instead.
Eco-friendly textiles are created with sustainable fibers and turned in processes that do not harm our planet. For example, a business may use natural dyes which come from plants instead of toxic compounds to dye the materials. They may also consume less water and energy while producing these fabrics. That means we conserve our resources and keep our environment cleaner.
The fashion industry plays a major role in the world’s environmental impact. It’s very well known that many fabrics are made with toxic chemicals and the processes of creating them can harm the air we breathe, the water we drink and the wildlife around us. This is where sustainable textiles come into place, and they can save the planet from these negative impacts.
Sustainable textiles are created with materials that are cultivated and manufactured in environmentally conscious ways. And they have a lower carbon footprint than conventional fabrics. This means that they are better for the environment in general and fight climate change.
Creation of new fabrics from recycled fibers, like in Bornature's case, reduces waste. They are also employing technology to reduce water and energy consumption throughout the production process. By investing in these innovative approaches, Bornature is contributing to a more sustainable future, both for fashion and for the planet.
