Another major innovation in eco-friendly fabrics, the originator of environmentally-friendly bags, Freitag, is degradable

Have you considered such a question: Will the clothing industry trigger an environmental disaster? This is not a worry. The rapid development of fast fashion also makes garbage pile up like mountains. The harm to the environment using insecticides on cotton is self-evident.

Some people think that the old-fashioned blue jeans made of cotton denim are better than the popular synthetic fabrics, but this is not the case. Linda Greer, director of the Health Program of the US Natural Resources Defense Council, explained: “Handling cotton denim needs to be crushed by machinery and added with water, oxygen, chemical liquids, etc., while solid waste is different, only a few solid wastes. It needs to be treated like this."

Fortunately, some socially responsible clothing companies are continually striving to reduce the negative impact on the environment in this process, and perhaps to some extent, to alleviate the guilt of consumers. For example, they make garbage, traceable materials, organic cotton, etc. as raw materials. Under pressure from green groups, many fashion brands have begun operations, and these include the Swedish fast-fashion retailer H & M, sports brand Puma, Adidas and so on.

Now, Freitag, an environmental bag company from Zurich, Switzerland, has made new progress! The company, known for recycling recycled trucks, first introduced eco bags, and recently they introduced a degradable pair of jeans. This kind of jeans is made of linen, cotton and linen blend, yarn spinning and woven fabric. It contains minimal chemical composition and no bleaching.

Polyester threads, metal buttons and rivets used in traditional denim garments are also difficult to degrade. Freitag has solved this problem by inventing a non-helical button and biodegradable line.

It is unclear whether degradable garments can push the fashion industry towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. However, Freitag's new jeans made of four kinds of degradable denims have indeed solved some problems related to clothing environmental protection. Such as material transportation, chemical use and treatment, cotton fabric substitutes, etc.

Freitag's classic slim waist men's and women's jeans, the FivePocketJeans, are made from self-developed F-abricDenim denim – a durable twill based on linen and hemp, 100% biodegradable;

E500MaleDenim (E500 Men's Jeans) is made from a 19 ounce denim and is now available;

Markus Freitag, founder and creative director, said: “Last year we started to study the use of broken twill on clothing, producing jeans made from bast fiber fabrics around 2,500 km around Zurich. One of the characteristics of this type of jeans is that if worn Old, you just take the buttons off and throw the pants into the compost, they will completely degrade."

The two brothers MarkusFreitag (pictured left) and DanielFreitag (pictured below) were founded by Freitag in 1993, driven by ecological awareness. The first batch of finished products was a messenger package made from recycled truck tarps. In 2011, The company publishes magazine Reportagen, which focuses on reporting the story of investigative journalists; last fall, the company launched a small ready-to-wear line dominated by sustainable, biodegradable fabrics, F-abric, expanding the company's sustainable business.

Markus Freitag said: “F-abric garments are 100% degradable and they can even act as plant soils. We received very positive feedback, which inspired us to further improve the ready-to-wear collection from materials and other aspects, for those who have not noticed that we are actually Women consumers of a clothing brand, we are particularly concerned (they are our potential customer base)."

Freitag has been intensive in the field of environmentally friendly bags for many years, with a global presence and extensive experience in the sustainable use of materials. Now that they are involved in the field of environmentally friendly fabrics, will it set off a fabric revolution? We will wait and see.
