The Clothing Industry Is Actually A "Polluter" &Nbsp; Hemp Fabric Is More Environmentally Friendly.

The female star on the red carpet has always been a fashion benchmark.

Two wives "green declaration"

Last week, the king's speech continued to sweep the British Academy of film awards, and the hero Colin Faith became the best actor in the British mind.

Livia Faith, the wife who has been accompanied by his red carpet, announced on the blog that on the next Oscar red carpet, she will choose Danish designer Nina's clothing to go to her "green carpet".

In fact, from the start of the award season, Levi Asia Firth has always chosen.

The other is director James Cameron's current wife, Susie Amis Cameron.

She recently announced the winner of the red carpet green dress this year - a black girl from London will design the green dress for Oscar this year.

Since last year, this award has been set up for "green couples" to help designers from all over the world to dress for her.

Clothing is a big polluter.

In fact, a common garment changes from raw material to fabric, from clothing production to logistics, from use to eventual abandonment, which emits carbon dioxide and has a certain impact on the environment.

Last year, the environment and cultural exchange center of Beijing studied the habit of dressing 2294 people in 4 cities across the country, calling on people to pay attention to the environmental protection of clothing.

As the clothing industry has become a "big polluter", the "carbon label" is also in fashion. On the website of Danish designer Nina, each piece of clothing has its own "environmental instructions", from the growth of materials on the farm until the final clothes are worn out.

In the eyes of people, clothing and environmental protection, "low carbon" simply can not be the least bit related.

However, many raw materials such as cotton and ramie are used in the planting stage, such as pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides, which pollute the environment. When raw materials are stored, preservatives, fungicides and moth proofing agents such as pentachlorophenol are used. In the process of weaving, oxidants, catalysts, detergents, azo dyes intermediates, formaldehyde and halide carriers and heavy metals are used in the weaving process.

For example, almost everyone's wardrobe has jeans, but it is the most polluted clothing.

"Because it's not only the rest of the waste cloth after jeans are made, but also the dye used in the washing process, the cost of pporting jeans to all parts of the world, the cost of packaging, and the water consumed by consumers when they wash jeans."

According to the environmental resource management company, a 400 gram heavy polyester pants, assuming that it produces raw materials in Taiwan, China, makes garments in Indonesia and sells them to the United Kingdom for sale.

Assuming that the service life is two years, washing machines with 50 degrees centigrade warm water are washed for 92 times. After washing, they are dried with a dryer and the average time is two minutes for ironing.

In this way, it consumes about 200 kilowatt hours of energy, equivalent to 47 kilograms of carbon dioxide, and 117 times its own weight.

Teach you to choose environmental protection clothing.

How to choose environmentally friendly clothes? Experts have shown that the average energy consumption of a small piece of clothing is equivalent to a reduction of about 5.7 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

The fabric made of hemp fiber is more environmentally friendly than cotton cloth in the selection of fabrics, because only a small amount of water and fertilizer is needed in the growth of hemp, no pesticide is needed and natural decomposition can be made.

In addition, cloth made from bamboo fiber and linen also saves more water and pesticides than cotton cloth in the production process.

Choosing clothes, especially children's clothing, is best to choose white, light color, no prints and small patterns.

These clothes are seldom treated with various chemical additives.

At the same time, when you choose clothes, you should avoid additional functions such as wrinkle resistance, iron free, waterproof, antifouling, etc. These are usually achieved by chemical agents.

In the use of clothing, wash with hands instead of washing machines.
