The definition of environmentally friendly fabrics is very broad, which is also due to the universality of the definition of fabrics. General environmentally friendly fabrics can be considered to be low-carbon and energy-saving, naturally free of harmful substances, environmentally friendly and recyclable fabrics. Environmentally friendly fabrics can be broadly divided into two categories: living environmentally friendly fabrics and industrial environmentally friendly fabrics.
Living environmental protection fabrics are generally composed of RPET fabrics, organic cotton, colored cotton, bamboo fiber, soy protein fiber, hemp fiber, Modal, organic wool, wood tencel and other fabrics.
Industrial environmentally friendly fabrics are composed of inorganic non-metallic materials such as PVC, polyester fiber, glass fiber and metal materials, which can achieve the effect of environmental protection, energy saving and recycling in practical application.
Common environmentally friendly fabrics are divided into two kinds, one is life environmentally friendly fabrics, the other is industrial environmentally friendly fabrics, then the next one by one to introduce these two environmentally friendly fabrics have those.
1.Living environmentally friendly fabric
Recycled polyester fabric
RPET Fabric is a new type of Recycled PET fabric, full name Recycled PET Fabric(recycled polyester fabric), the raw material is recycled PET yarn from the bottle after quality inspection separation - slicing - drawing, cooling and silk collection made of RPET yarn, commonly known as Coke bottle environmental cloth. The fabric can be recycled to save energy, oil consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and each pound of recycled RPET fabric can save 61,000 BTU of energy, equivalent to 21 pounds of carbon dioxide. After environmentally friendly dyeing, coating and rolling, the fabric can also pass the test of MTL, SGS, ITS and other international standards, including phthalates (6P), formaldehyde, lead (Pb), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nonyphene and other environmental indicators meet the latest European environmental standards and the latest American environmental standards.
Organic cotton
Organic cotton is in agricultural production, based on organic fertilizer, biological control of pests and diseases, natural farming management, not allowed to use chemicals, from seeds to agricultural products all natural and pollution-free production of cotton. And in accordance with the "Agricultural Product Safety Quality Standards" issued by countries or WTO/FAO as a measure, the content of toxic and harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, nitrates, pests (including microorganisms, parasite eggs, etc.) in cotton is controlled within the limits specified in the standard, and certified commodity cotton.
Colored cotton
Colored cotton is a new type of cotton with natural color. Natural colored cotton is a new type of textile raw material with natural color when cotton is puffed out using modern bioengineering technology. Compared with ordinary cotton, it has the characteristics of soft, breathable, elastic and comfortable to wear, so it is also known as a higher level of ecological cotton. Internationally, it is called zero pollution (Zeropollution). Because organic cotton needs to maintain its natural characteristics in the process of growing and weaving, it cannot be dyed by existing chemical synthetic dyes. Only natural vegetable dyes are used for natural dyeing. Naturally dyed organic cotton has more colors and can meet more needs. Experts predict that brown and green will be popular colors for clothing in the early 21st century. It embodies ecological, natural, leisure, fashion trends. Color cotton clothing in addition to brown, green, is gradually developing blue, purple, gray red, brown and other colors of clothing varieties.
Bamboo fiber
Bamboo fiber yarn raw material selection of bamboo as raw material, the use of bamboo pulp fiber production of staple fiber yarn, a green product, with the raw material made of cotton yarn production of knitted fabrics and clothing, with a distinct style from cotton, wood cellulose fiber: Wear resistance, no pilling, high moisture absorption, quick drying, high permeability, drape good, feel smooth and plump, such as silky soft, anti-mold, anti-moth and antibacterial, wear cool and comfortable with beauty and skin care effect. Excellent dyeing performance, bright luster, and has good natural antibacterial effect and environmental protection, conform to the trend of modern people's pursuit of health and comfort.
Of course, bamboo fiber fabric also has some shortcomings, this plant fabric is more delicate than other ordinary fabrics, the damage rate is higher, and the shrinkage rate is more difficult to control. In order to overcome these defects, bamboo fiber is usually blended with some ordinary fiber. The blending of bamboo fiber and other kinds of fiber in a specific proportion can not only reflect the performance of other fibers but also give full play to the characteristics of bamboo fiber, bringing new features to knitted fabrics. Pure spun, blended yarn (with tencel, modal, sweat polyester, negative oxygen ion polyester, corn fiber, cotton, acrylic fiber and other fibers for different kinds of different proportions of blending), is the first choice of knitted fabrics, in the fashion, bamboo fiber fabric spring and summer wear effect is better.
2.Industrial environmental protection materials
It is generally based on environmentally friendly sunny fabrics. The process on the market is mostly divided into two categories: one is PVC coated fiber; The second is the fiber impregnation in PVC. General polyester fabrics in the country are basically used in the coating method (such as: the United States PANGEAE sunshine fabric). In foreign countries, glass fiber fabrics are more impregnated (such as: Spain CITEL sunshine fabric).
1, flame retardant sunshade cloth: the shading effect is basically 85%-99%, the opening rate ranges from 1%-15%, and has a flame retardant function, generally a permanent flame retardant effect.
2, embossing sunshade cloth: through special machine embossing, to achieve a variety of pattern effects, embossing style is very rich
3, jacquard sunshade cloth: through the special process of jacquard, to achieve various pattern effects
4, metal coating sunshade cloth: the fabric is dyed coating, the front is sunny fabric, the back is plated with metal coating, including silver plating, aluminum plating, etc., can achieve good air permeability and light transmission effect. At the same time, according to the principle of reflecting ultraviolet light, the sunshade effect is better than the general pinhole sun fabric.
