What is environmentally friendly fabric?

2023-08-15

The definition of environmentally friendly fabrics is very broad, which is also due to the universality of fabric definitions. Generally, environmentally friendly fabrics can be considered as low-carbon, energy-saving, naturally free from harmful substances, and environmentally friendly and recyclable fabrics.


Environmentally friendly fabrics can generally be divided into two categories: living environmentally-friendly fabrics and industrial environmentally-friendly fabrics.


Lifestyle environmentally friendly fabrics are generally composed of various fabrics such as RPET fabric, organic cotton, colored cotton, bamboo fiber, soybean protein fiber, hemp fiber, Modal, organic wool, and natural wood silk.


Industrial environmentally friendly fabrics are composed of inorganic non-metallic materials such as PVC, polyether fiber, glass fiber, and metallic materials, achieving the effect of environmental protection, energy conservation, and recycling in practical applications.


The latest environmentally friendly fabric is RPET fabric, which is currently actively promoted globally as a green recycled material and has been widely used in the production of textiles.


RPET fabric, also known as Recycled PET Fabric, is a new type of recycled and environmentally friendly fabric. Its raw material is RPET yarn made from recycled PET bottles through quality inspection, separation, slicing, drawing, and cooling. The fabric woven from RPET yarn is RPET surface material, commonly known as Coca Cola bottle environmentally friendly fabric. This fabric can be recycled and reused, saving energy, oil consumption, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Each pound of recycled RPET fabric can save 61000 BTU of energy, equivalent to 21 pounds of carbon dioxide. After environmentally friendly dyeing, coating, and rolling, the fabric can also pass international standards such as MTL, SGS, ITS, etc. The environmental indicators such as phthalates (6P), formaldehyde, lead (Pb), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and nonylphene all meet the latest European and American environmental standards. The promotion and application of environmentally friendly fabrics have a very positive effect on reducing global petroleum energy extraction and carbon emissions pollution.
