Our habitat is severely affected. There is no denying that the fashion industry contributes greatly in increasing environmental pollution by using waste from the fabric, leather and dyeing industries. The world is actively applying advanced science and technology to produce methods to limit environmental pollution and sustainable development. The following are the creative inventions of the brand in the effort to protect the health of the natural environment.

Fabric is made from orange peel, tangerine peel

Adriana Santanocito and Enrica Arena, an Italian couple, have found a way to utilize more than 700,000 tonnes of orange peel, which is released into the environment each year by turning them into something more useful, a fabric. Citrus pulp from the orange peel will be extracted into polymer fibers and woven into fabric. Moreover, citrus peel is considered a free ingredient for the fashion industry and can help fruit producers solve the problem of waste disposal. This advanced technology has proven that sustainable fashion will be a wise move for the success of fashion brands.

Artificial leather

Leather products such as high-end men's leather shoes, handbags, wallets, belts, ... really fascinate the fashionista by the beauty and classic, but the tanning is viewed. is a "evil" industry because they are made from the skin of animals. But by cultivating collagen, Modern Meadow invented a protein found in animal skin to produce leather without killing any animal. And artificial skin that looks exactly like the skin of the animal was born. This invention will be a great potential to limit the environmental pollution from animal husbandry to the needs of the skin, while also reducing air pollution by limiting large amounts of methane emissions from animals. In addition, this advanced technology also helps to protect the area of ​​deforested forest for livestock.

Turn plastic waste into fashion

Plastic waste is extremely harmful to the environment because it is discharged directly into the sea without undergoing any processing. This has had a very negative impact on the ocean's ecology. In the effort to turn plastic waste into a useful one, famous fashion brands have launched the RAW for the Oceans fashion project in 2014 as a collection of denim garments recycled from plastic garbage. sea. In the same year, the Adidas shoe brand also launched Futurecraft - a shoe that was printed in 3D and made from marine junk. The sole was made of recycled polyester. In addition, Adidas will no longer use plastic bottles during meetings to limit plastic waste to the environment. Meanwhile, the Three-Stripe brand also stops using plastic bags at its stores to protect the environment.

Manufacture of jeans by laser technology

Laser technology has been used extensively in manufacturing in the fashion industry, including laser engraving on high-end western shoes, and now laser-etched technology. Previously, jeans were made to look dingy and old by sand-blasting - a highly abrasive chemical. However, the abrasive ability of sand-blasting sand poses a threat to workers' health when exposed to silica - a compound that, when repeatedly exposed to the respiratory tract, can irritate the lungs. and cause some serious illnesses. In 2010, two well-known denim fashion brands, Levi's and H & M, announced the removal of this toxic method in the manufacture of jeans to protect workers' health. Instead, they use a number of new techniques, including the use of lasers to color the jeans. This method is not only safer but also helps protect the water environment by saving a lot of clean water compared to conventional wash jeans.
