Materials / Plastic
We can find many different materials on the textile market. Some of them are well known while others are new inventions. We provide information and clarity about how sustainable these materials are. A lot of the textiles and clothing we use are made of plastic fibers, which have negative impact on health and environment.
The vast majority of polyester production is reliant on fossil fuel-based resources, which are not sustainable and risk market volatility due to their finite nature. To reduce the industry’s reliance on these petroleum-based resources, bio-based polyesters have emerged as a more sustainable alternative.→ →
Plastiki ya plastiki ni bidhaa ya kawaida ambayo inapatikana katika soko la nguo. Baadhi yao yanajulikana sana huku mengine yakiwa uvumbuzi mpya. Tunatoa habari na uwazi kuhusu jinsi vifaa hivi vinavyoweza kudumu. Vifaa vingi vya nguo na nguo tunazotumia vimetengenezwa kwa nyuzi za plastiki, ambazo zina athari mbaya kwa afya na mazingira. Uzalishaji mkubwa wa polyester unategemea rasilimali za mafuta ya mafuta, ambazo hazina uendelevu na hatari ya kutofautiana kwa soko kwa sababu ya asili yao ya mwisho. Ili kupunguza utegemezi wa sekta hiyo kwa rasilimali hizi za mafuta, polyesters za msingi wa kibiolojia zimeibuka kama mbadala endelevu zaidi. → →
