What kind of materials are more environmentally friendly?
When people choose clothes, they should not only consider economic benefits and elegance, but also put the impact on health in an important position. Clothing has an impact on people's physiological functions, such as body fluids, pH, electrolytes and so on. Improper selection of fabrics will lead to various diseases such as metabolic dysfunction. Therefore, the choice of clothing materials has become an important part of clothing selection. With the concepts of eco-textiles and green textiles entering the domestic and foreign trade fields and people's vision, people's demand for textiles has also changed from traditional practicality and durability to health, safety and comfort.

At present, the clothing raw materials on the market mainly include natural fibers, artificial fibers and synthetic fibers. Among them, natural fibers and artificial fibers are relatively safe to human body compared with synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are fibers from natural animals or plants, which are usually comfortable, compatible with human body and beneficial to health, but have poor wear resistance and are easy to fade and shrink. This kind of fiber mainly includes cotton, wool and silk. These fibers are not suitable for public use because of their limited output and relatively high price. People began to look for more environmentally friendly natural fibers, such as hemp fiber, which can replace these. Although natural hemp fiber is relatively thick and hard, it is only used to make ropes, coarse cloth and so on. However, after the new process, it becomes soft and strong and can be used to make cloth. The strength of hemp fiber is four times that of cotton fiber, and the wear resistance is twice that of cotton fiber, which has advantages in mildew resistance, dirt resistance and wrinkle resistance. Compared with planting cotton, planting hemp requires much less irrigation water, pesticides and other pesticides, so it is not only low in production cost, but also more environmentally friendly.

Man-made fiber is also an environmentally friendly and healthy fiber. For example, rayon is made of wood pulp and uses renewable trees. Compared with cotton, planting trees requires less irrigation water and pesticides; Compared with silk, the price is much cheaper. Compared with chemical fiber produced by petroleum, PLA fiber produced by corn starch can reduce the use of fossil fuel by 20% ~ 50%. Poly (lactic acid) fiber has a low refractive index, so dark color can be obtained without using a lot of dyes. In addition, there are new fiber soybean protein fiber and new cellulose fiber bamboo fiber, which can not only absorb and release water quickly, but also have antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties.

These are all green products, which meet the requirements of human health and are our first choice when choosing fabrics.
