New Technology: Eco Swimsuit Uses Natural Fibers.

A variety of new fabrics specially developed for swimsuits and underwear are positioned as signs of eco bathing suits, using natural fibers that were not long ago in the industry, or enhanced by the use of spandex.

With the continuous increase of the concept of conscience consumption, ecological products indicate the potential for future growth, and various economic factors may have a potential impact on the national garment industry.

For example, the British brand Eco-Boudoir has introduced eco-friendly organic underwear and bathing suits through online shopping malls.

The Eco-Boudoir brand recently worked with Martha department store (Marks&Spencer) to create a series of Eco-B products to enrich the pajama series and recently launched 4 new prints.

Eco-Boudoir founder White is known as "sustainable industry leader," she said: "we use organic cotton and organic silk, blending technology to produce fabrics that are close to skin and excellent feel.

In printing, we use herbal dyes with little environmental impact to promote ecological protection. "

bamboo

Co brand KerryB21Designs is headquartered in California.

In addition, Lenzing is the latest eco bamboo fiber.

The product is a renewable resource developed by Lan Jing and Swiss Litrax, which is a blend of bamboo fiber and Tencel. It is a fiber comparable to hemp and linen.

Litrax has introduced artificial fiber and stem fiber and nano particle Litrax-1 blended fabric to the market, providing higher comfort.

waterless dyeing

Italy JerseyLomellina's latest fabric products are made of dyed raw dyed fibers, which are produced by dry process and do not need water in dyeing process, thereby avoiding waste of water resources.

Ecolors and Ecoline new eco-friendly fabrics have excellent dyeing uniformity and color fastness. They will not fade for a long time and are easy to clean. They can be mixed with colored or white garments and will not shrink.

The product has excellent color fastness and no dye loss during washing. Therefore, the pollution of wastewater can be greatly reduced in the whole life cycle of finished garments.

XtraLifeLycra has good chlorine resistance and is especially suitable for swimsuit production.

At the same time, the fabric has good elasticity and air permeability, soft handle, and can be made into fashionable underwear.

JerseyLomellina has also designed the VioletLake swimsuit label through the British UrsulaLake company, and has introduced eco-friendly fabrics for the consumer goods market.

Corn sucrose polymers reduce carbon emissions

Polyester fabric does not sound green, but Advansa, a Holland polyester fiber manufacturer wholly owned by Sabanci Turkey, produces Biophyl eco-friendly fabrics.

According to LucianoColasanto, Advansa marketing manager, Biophyl products are made of poly (two terephthalate) (PTT), while PTT is a special polyester polymer based on Bio-PDO, made from corn sugar.

Yarns, as sustainable renewable resources made through biological processes, can reduce the demand for petrochemical resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 63%.

At present, Biophyl fabrics have been used in many kinds of beach wear and underwear.

For example, the Italy band LiveTropicalFish recently launched an album called "life is too short to be selfish (TheDayisTooShorttobeSelfish)".

In the album, the players wear shorts made of Italy 2EMMEMaglificioModerno knitted fabric and Biophyl fabric designed by PaolaMalteseDesigner.

EurotexTekstil, a knitting manufacturer in Turkey, has also launched the first series of GreenisSmart series seamless clothing for men and women made of Biophyl fabrics.

Eurotex sales Commissioner OzlemG u nd Z said that the purpose of the seamless clothing series is to enhance the comfort and comfort of the human body. With the seamless weaving technology of Saint Santoni (Santoni), seamless sewing products are designed that are completely close to the body, elastic and uniform in all parts, and there are no problems.

Moreover, compared with the standard knitted fabric, it has better elasticity and single piece clothing can be applied to many shapes.

In eco-friendly swimsuits and underwear products, other companies using Biophyl fabrics include Italy PiaveMaitex, Portuguese LMALeandroManuelAraujio and Belgian MarcelLiebaert.

Advansa said Biophyl is particularly suitable for knitted and warp knitted swimsuits and underwear.

However, many production companies, brand operation companies and decision makers of swimsuit designation companies are still reluctant to adopt this product.

First of all, swimsuit manufacturers prefer nylon.

Because there is a big price difference between nylon and Biophyl, this has a real impact on the price of the final product, and also on consumer purchase decisions, especially during the recession.

Price is the key to making Biophyl fabrics and other eco-friendly synthetic fabrics, including recycled polyester, difficult to batch and successfully apply.

Although consumers are not willing to spend too much money on eco-friendly fabrics, Biophyl fabrics will continue to enter swimwear, underwear, casual wear and bicycle clothing market.

Advansa will strive to reduce the greenhouse effect during dyeing and finishing, while ensuring energy saving up to 30%.

Biophyl fabrics are usually used together with DowXLA and other chlorine resistant fibers.

However, DowXLA technology provider Dow has decided to shut down XLA.

The company confirmed in 2010 that it is withdrawing from the fiber manufacturing business and has been shutting down DowXLA products.

Dow made this decision mainly because of economic reasons.

Analysts believe that Dow loan is overburdened by the acquisition of rival Rohm&Haas company for $15 billion 300 million.

Therefore, in recent years, we have to strip off non strategic assets to enhance cash flow.

There are also textile observers who believe that after Dow withdrew, Invista XFITLycra products will dominate the field of denim.

Recycling nylon and polyester is also promising.

Designer IanWest has launched the Eco-Panda swimsuit brand made from recycled nylon swimsuit.

He said that nylon can be recovered and reused by reusing the old fish net, which can save up to 27% of natural oil resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The recycled materials are combined with the Creora company's chlorine resistant spandex fiber. Therefore, compared with the traditional garments, the garment has a "10 times longer" duration in the chlorine, thereby reducing waste.

RiaStern, global marketing director at Hyosung, said: "the EcoPanda new product line is the first eco-friendly swimsuit to be produced. It is made from Mipanregen recycled nylon and Creora elastic fibers."

Creora has also introduced organic clothing as a weatherglass for clothing and underwear, reflecting the company's goal of sustainable development and environmental responsibility.

Creora fiber innovation technology includes H-550 products as environmentally friendly elastic fiber series and Mipanregen recovery nylon.

Swimsuit made of recycled nylon is released in Losangeles, USA.

On the occasion of the introduction of EcoCircle recycled polyester fiber, Teijin also introduced the O high strength polyester fiber for beach and surfing brand O "Neill".

This fiber is 7500 times thinner than the standard hair, and its surface area is several times larger than that of the conventional fiber. It can be made into products with soft handle, good elasticity and excellent skid resistance.

Recoverable elastic fabric

In 1994, SchoellerTextil launched the first 100% recyclable stretch fabric.

Company spokesperson BeatriceGille introduced two fabrics suitable for swimsuit and underwear comfort: Coldblack fabric UV protection coefficient (UPF) not less than 30, and heat treatment technology, especially for swimsuit. 3xdry fabric has excellent moisture absorption and quick drying performance, especially for underwear.

Moreover, SarahRatty, director of innovation and consulting at Ciel, an environmental conscience brand in underwear and fashion, said that the company used 100% recycled fabrics without azo dyes or Oeko-tex and ConfidenceinTextiles certified fabrics.

At the same time, it also works closely with Italy production plants to produce Yoga underwear and pajamas from organic cotton produced in Africa and Turkey.

Ratty explained: "the vertical integration of the whole process from planting to knitting, from planting to terminal products can achieve the greatest respect for the environment and cotton farmers."
