Europe And The United States Set Off Organic Cotton Clothes Hot People Continue To Wait And See

< p > according to a report of Japan's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > Cotton Traders Association < /a >, in the past two years, the output of organic cotton in the United States has been estimated to grow by 10%-15%.

The bull price of organic cotton encourages the expansion of organic cotton cultivation in the United States.

But organic cotton in the domestic market can be said to be still in the cultivation period, generally more in the use of mother and child clothing, and the price is relatively high.

< p > according to the data of the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOMA), the world's cotton planting area accounts for about 3% of the total agricultural land in the world. However, 1/4 of the total pesticide used in the world is sprinkled into cotton fields, including some highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic pesticides, which not only pollute the soil and groundwater seriously, but also cause many cotton farmers to fall ill or die, which is a great hazard to the natural ecology and human health.

Under such circumstances, organic cotton came into being.

But for most domestic consumers, the concept of "organic cotton" is still very strange.

< /p >

< p > what exactly is organic cotton? Organic cotton refers to organic fertilizer, biological control of diseases and insect pests, and natural farming management. It does not use chemical products, from seeds to agricultural products, all pollution-free cotton production.

The production of organic cotton requires not only the necessary conditions of cotton cultivation such as light, heat, water and soil, but also has specific requirements for the cleanliness of cultivated land soil environment, irrigation water quality and air environment.

< /p >

< p > because a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > organic cotton < /a > started relatively late in China, the output of cotton is relatively low compared with ordinary cotton, so most organic cotton is used to make mother and infant clothing, and domestic shops selling organic cotton clothes are also pointing fingers.

It is understood that organic cotton products generally feel soft, comfortable to wear, breathable, warm, safe and stimulating, will not generate static electricity, and will not induce allergies, eczema and so on.

However, the price of raw materials for organic cotton is 3-4 times that of ordinary cotton, while that of organic cotton is 6-7 times the price of ordinary cotton.

According to the insiders, at present, the European and American markets of organic cotton products are very mature, and the domestic acceptance of organic cotton products is expected to take 3-5 years.

< /p >

< p > according to Zhang Yugao, R & D director of Yida group, a large garment production enterprise in China, there are many brands of organic cotton garments in Europe, and all the people are popularizing organic products, and many famous brands even use organic cotton.

Zhang Yugao said, in fact, the quality of organic cotton and ordinary cotton is similar in quality. Only organic cotton does not produce pesticides, so the output is very low, and the cost will be higher than that of organic cotton.

Moreover, only by the appearance of the product, consumers will be able to identify which are organic cotton clothing and which are made of ordinary cotton products, but organic cotton raw materials will be certified, and the process of fabric processing is also organic certification. Consumers can identify the GOT logo when purchasing.

< /p >

< p > it has been revealed that the current "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp "organic cotton < /a" is mainly certified by several major international organizations, and the market is rather chaotic at present, so there are also many adulterated phenomena.

In addition, organic cotton is raw material is organic, but does not mean that the production of organic cotton clothes must be completely safe and non-toxic.

Because there is also a health and pollution crisis between cotton harvester and ready-made clothes. For example, in order to make the cotton (raw cotton color) that has been slightly browned and white as snow, most of it will be bleached by chlorine, causing carcinogens and polluting the environment. The dyestuffs used for dyed clothes also contain heavy metals, such as arsenic, mercury and lead.
