Keep It Natural
Oct
Clothing labels have been around for a long time, and all most people see them is as annoying little piece of tags hanging somewhere on our clothes. People want to rip these labels out as they give a restless itch the whole time they wear their clothes. But at the same time, it is essential to know why these labels are attached to your clothing in the first place.
Clothing labels have brand logos printed on them. These labels are used to differentiate between brands and give a more exclusive look to your clothing. Another use of clothing labels is to provide information and instructions about the garment, how to wash it and care for it.
What is usually ignored is how disastrous these clothing labels can be to the environment. It might seem that a small tag should not be something to worry about or it shouldn’t have any real effect on global warming. But in reality, these labels are detrimental in many ways. Their production process and their dumping bring with it a lot of harmful effects.
Many of the synthetic labels used have plastic content in them. Even though it seems like they are cloth pieces, their production uses lots of plastic. As plastic is not bio-degradable and lasts forever, it adds to the pollution of the planet. Machines making them are far from being energy efficient and waste an enormous amount of electricity. Moreover, they also contain traces of cancer-causing, volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
It is essential to take measures that will help the environment and get natural products. These measures go as microlevel as looking at the clothing labels in our clothes. It might seem like a vague idea, but when considered with the advantages to the earth, it is something to look into.
1. Keep the toxins out
Choosing natural products means using less of synthetic materials and using less of harmful chemicals. By reducing the risk of chemical poisoning, you can ensure health and safety of employees at a factory. Customers too prefer seeing clothing free of unhealthy toxins.
2. Creating company value
Companies are always looking for ways to make their companies eco-friendly and creating additional value. One way any brand can add value to its products is by having eco-friendly products. Companies need a good reputation in the industry to establish themselves. One way of creating goodwill is by choosing natural cotton or woven clothing labels instead of synthetic materials.
3. Why choose your product
In the clothing industry, it’s essential to be able to differentiate a brand from one another. Often clothes have similar components, designs, and colors. In these situations having natural clothing labels and hangtags can sway confused customers towards a particular brand. Making customers believe they are contributing to a safer planet goes a long way.
Global warming is a significant concern in today’s world. Brands that contribute to a green planet through socially responsible products have high ratings.
