Through time there has been a great development in apparel and clothes. Research and the innovative thinking from a lot people, have enabled us to develop new ways of manufacture these items.
One way is to produce organically. The first time I heard the word Organic Clothing, I thought it was just another bad sales trick, from a creative marketing guy who had to sell some useless products. This is a lot of years ago, and today I have another view on this subject.
People, including myself, have been made aware of the increasing problems that we are causing to the planet, by polluting. It also affects our health that we are exposed to so many different chemicals, and people start to develop allergies and other deceases, that they have to live with, for the rest of their lives. This also includes the clothes that we wear. You might have seen that is says 100 % cotton in the back of a shirt – but it’s not the whole truth. Clothes are usually being manufactured with toxic chemicals, which can have an affect on your health. On the other hand, organic clothes, also referred to as natural clothing, are completely natural and manufactured without toxic chemicals. All the materials are grown organically, which is also a way of decreasing the amount of pollution.
This gives a lot of manufactures, such as T-Shirt Suppliers, Sweater Suppliers or Sock Suppliers, a chance to think in a whole new way. They can change their target market, and create a new profile for their company, with focus on green and environmental friendly products.
The biggest issue for the manufactures and sellers is the price of the products. They cannot compete with the “regular” clothes manufactures, because they can produce at a much lower cost. But because of the change in peoples mind and the increasing focus eco friendly products, they are more willing to pay the extra price. A lot of governments also support with subsidies for Fairtrade suppliers, which increases their competitive ability. So there are a lot of reasons to start an eco friendly production.
