Let’s talk about fabrics. Not all textiles are created equal especially when it comes to the environment.
-
Organic Cotton: Uses 91% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. It’s grown without toxic pesticides, making it safer for farmers and ecosystems. It also reduces soil acidification by 70%.
-
Bamboo: One of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, bamboo is naturally pest-resistant, requires no replanting, and uses a fraction of the water cotton does. Bamboo textiles are also biodegradable and antibacterial.
-
Recycled Textiles: These give old fibers new life. Producing recycled polyester emits up to 79% less CO₂ compared to virgin polyester. Plus, recycled cotton saves around 765 liters of water per shirt compared to new cotton.
When you choose garments made from these materials, you reduce your impact and invest in the future. At UNUMSHOP, our curated brands prioritize these eco-fabrics to ensure you look good while doing good.
Look for Labels: Always check product descriptions for fabric details. Transparency is key to informed choices.
