SUSTAINABLE TEXTILES – A NEW ERA OF MATERIALS
One of the factors to realize the development circle of green supply chain in textiles. It is the selection of raw materials and the availability of raw materials. Because, traditional raw materials in the textile and garment industry can have a very strong impact on the environment. Moreover, they will become the garbage dumps of humanity, if not disposed of properly. Therefore, the selection of "green" raw materials instead of traditional materials will be the first bricks to build a sustainable textile and garment ecosystem.
And currently, natural materials are derived from plants (cotton, flax, jute, etc.), natural materials derived from animals (sheep, goats, etc.), and artificial and synthetic cellulose materials. All of them are popular materials in the market, meeting sustainability standards for environmental protection (According to Textile Exchange)
1. Materials of natural origin
· Organic Cotton
The "Organic Cotton" market is taking advantage of consumption. With about 25% market share in 2019. Thanks to development programs in the world such as ABRAPA, Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)... With its superior characteristics, "Organic Cotton" can also recycle quickly and self-balance carbon when plant materials absorb instead of emitting CO2. As well as easily decomposing in soil and water environments. It is considered a solution to reduce the production of non-recyclable resources such as petroleum, coal of artificial fibers such as Polyester, Nylon, etc.
· Vegan Material
This is one of the small segments of natural fabrics, with 100% plant-based ingredients. Therefore, factories have applied an ecological, non-toxic dyeing process...
Typically, the Algae Apparel brand won the H&M Global Innovation Awards 2018 for its uniqueness. When producing biomaterials from seaweed and friendly to users.
2. Materials of animal origin
· Wool Fabric
Wool is one of the materials that is highly appreciated by consumers. With the market dominance of conventional wool. Therefore, the conversion of pine wool to non-mulesing and priority wool programs is gradually increasing. Adoption of the Wool Responsibility Standard (RWS). Help solve responsible land use issues, ensure biodiversity, and animal welfare. Moreover, it makes it easy for consumers to trace the origin of wool. As well as ensuring products are ethically sourced and sustainable.
3. Materials of recycled origin
· Recycled Polyester
As one of the yarns, it accounted for a large market share of about 14% in 2019. Recycled Polyester Fiber Fabric is a man-made fabric that is recycled from old plastic bottles. Instead of using new materials to make fabrics (i.e. petroleum). Make a good start in circular recycling from textiles. And improve social conditions in waste collection and recycling.
