Eco-Friendly Products

If we decide to go for the natural fabric and if we want to induce others too to follow the same path,we have to also take into consideration of the regulations of Fair Trade. These regulations are nothing but to adhere to the principles of fair and equal distribution of compensation for all those who are involved in this. This is legally binding and also ethically a standing point.

The harmful elements flow down stream from the cotton plantations are causing havoc along the way. The dead zones of Gulf of Mexico are a prime example of how the damage can be caused due to heavy pollution of chemicals which goes into the rivers. It not only making the fertile lands into barren one but also causing permanent damage to the endangered species.

When we decide about the use of natural fabric,we are duty bound to understand whether the people involved in the manufacturing are properly covered under the Fair Trade Regulations or not. These regulations are to give certain amount of assurances with legal and ethical provisions. This simply means whether they are remunerated properly under healthy atmosphere

Adhering to the fair trade regulations is a current trend particularly for those who take the organics as their way of life and also for them who are dreaming of a pollution free earth. But the negative flip of the coin is the cost of production of eco friendly clothing. The eco friendly and fair trade goods are indeed expensive due to their cost of production. The fabrics which are exposed to fertilizers and pesticides are far cheaper than the organic one.

In the making of organic clothing,the use of the harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are avoided,and these clothing is less likely to irritate the skin. The irritation is mainly due to the adding of an addictive chemical to make the fabric a wrinkle free look. The chemical is Formaldehyde,a common bonder used in the fabric to give the wrinkle free look which has been proved to be causing allergic reactions,causes deformity to infants and even leading to cancer.

Though the level of Formaldehyde is acceptable as it appears for majority of the people,it does have drastic effect for those who are prone to allergic attack. This chemical has already been banned in some of the countries.

It is the chemicals which make the fabrics wrinkle free look. So the absence of such chemicals will indeed pose problems and challenges for maintaining organic clothing. But thankfully there are products of organic origins to reduce the problems of maintaining organic fabrics.

We have now organic detergents which give durability and wrinkle free look for the fabric. They are bio degradable substances which give no permanent impact on the eco systems.
