Plastic Or Will Replace Cotton As The Main Material For Clothing.

Plastic, as a ubiquitous thing in our life, can be said to be familiar with everyone. But all along, we have a sense of ambiguity about plastic, because it is bringing us convenience and is also wasting our health. Recent news has revealed that plastics will replace cotton as the main garment in the future. Material Science 。

Now it seems that the fate of its entry into the garment industry can not be reversed. Our clothes contain more or less polyester, which is commonly known as "Dacron", but many people do not yet know that it is actually a raw material with plastic bottles, and it is possible to completely take over our wardrobe in the future. Over the past years, due to the continuous shortage of cotton fabrics, polyester has replaced cotton and has become the world's largest fiber producing product at a rate of 5 million 300 thousand tonnes per year, reaching about 30000000 tonnes this year. This figure may reach about 90000000 metric tons in 2025.

The most common type of polyester is Polyester This is a kind of plastic extracted from crude oil, which is commonly used to make coke and ketchup bottles. When polyester fiber melts, it will produce a texture of cold honey. After passing through the pores of the spinning tube, it will form very long single filament yarn, which will form a fine fiber and produce cloth.

The enthusiasm for man-made fibers is mainly due to the fact that cotton production is not enough. More importantly, our demand for new clothes is also growing. I want to talk about "fast fashion" again. Many "fast fashion" manufacturers such as H&M choose polyester instead of nylon or rayon because polyester is the cheapest. With the increase of demand, we will see more and more mixed clothing. More than 98% of fiber production will be synthetic in the future, and 95% of synthetic fiber will be polyester.

Although the material is cheap, people do not have to worry that polyester is hot and airtight, and it looks too low. The polyester has been transformed into a decent technology, and those polyester fibers can be made smaller than human hair. No wonder some big brands occasionally take advantage of it. it seems Polyester fiber The future is decided. It is even used by Sacai, one of the most popular fashion brands today and CommedesGar ons. Because of its easy drying characteristics, polyester is more common in sportswear and sportswear.

Environmentalists will, of course, come forward to accuse polyester of this non degradable material, which will cause greater burden on the earth. But on the other hand, cotton is actually more water consuming than polyester, and the cotton that is stacked up is like this, and it is doubtful whether it can be degraded immediately. The trend of plastics entering fashion is unstoppable. Let's wait and see.
