Why 100% Cotton Baby Clothes Are Better for Sensitive Skin and Our Planet
Share
The fashion industry is struggling with enormous amounts go textile waste, microplastic pollution and more and more people are starting to question the biodegradability of their waste. Cotton is a fiber - unlike synthetics - that will return to the earth. A textile that is not only versatile, but biodegradable in both water and soil without polluting our land and oceans with plastic particles.
Synthetic fabrics are wrecking havoc on our earth and the textile industry is responsible for 14% of all annual microplastic pollution on our earth.
Most synthetic fibers are made from petrochemicals which essentially make them a form of plastic - a material that does not easily biodegrade into the environment. But the problem isn't only with its inability to return to the earth - it starts from the minute we start washing the garment. Tiny particles called microplastics are released and enter our oceans causing detrimental harm to our marine ecosystem.
At Enkae Baby, we use only 100% cotton in our knitwear and non-knit daywear items. We strive to have a small impact on the earth, and produce high quality, durable items that can be passed down to younger siblings or other loved ones.
