When it comes to vegan textiles, shoes, socks, bags, accessories, jewelry, linens, towels, fabrics, etc. It is necessary to cover many sub-categories.
When it comes to vegan textiles, many parameters come into play throughout the supply chain that can compromise vegan integrity and reduce consumer confidence. V-Mark vegan textile certification service includes the tests performed in our accredited laboratories and the evaluations of our expert team, eliminating all this uncertainty on the product or products in question, giving them confidence by ensuring that the product is completely transparent for vegan consumers.
Instead of wool, some of the many natural fabrics that do not involve punching and crushing sheep can be used in vegan textiles. Recently, there has been a day-by-day increase in high performance vegan fabrics, the perfect combination of softness and sustainability.
More and more clothing brands are opting for these materials that do not support the persecution of the wool industry. Some of the fabrics that can be used in vegan textiles are as follows:
Organic cottongrown without harmful chemicals and does not destroy ecosystems. In fact, it is known to improve soil quality and generally use less water. Like other vegan fabrics, organic cotton is easier to clean than wool, dries faster, and is softer to the touch.
keteneis a durable material that softens and gets stronger with use. Vegan fabrics such as linen can absorb up to 20 percent of their weight in moisture before they get wet. Unlike wool that takes longer to dry, flax easily releases moisture into the air, which keeps you cool. Additionally, it is non-allergenic and requires significantly less pesticides and fertilizers than other crops, and is both recyclable and biodegradable.
seaweed It can be used as a textile raw material. Dried seaweed is roughly crushed, ground and simultaneously added to cellulose fiber from which materials for a wide variety of textiles are produced. The brown algae used in this material supposedly activate cell regeneration, re-mineralize the skin, limit inflammation, soothe itching and detoxify the body.
Wood can be used as a textile product. A material made from wood pulp produced in an environmentally friendly process that reuses processing chemicals is created and is also biodegradable, recyclable and naturally wrinkle-free. A great alternative to silk, this material is soft, drapes well, and can be washed, dyed or even woven to imitate the properties of suede, leather, mole skin or wool.
Today, a 100% vegan textile product can be produced by using many different raw materials similar to the above. However, the main problem is that the contents of the products cannot be reflected on the consumer side transparently due to the supply chain or inadequate inspections, as stated before.
