As a consumer - or manufacturer - of textiles, the question arises again and again which resources should be used best. Whom Environmental protection at heart who pays attention to sustainable and fair trade textiles. The goals are to conserve raw material sources, to produce in a water and energy-saving manner and not to overburden the environment. The course for these projects is already set in the Choosing the right resources placed.
Saved liters of water.
What sounds unimaginable at first is actually a well-known method of clothing production for several decades. Wood becomes for over 100 years used in the clothing industry. Mostly eucalyptus trees were popular. The wood chips are mixed with hot water to a cellulose pulp, which is also known as viscose. Pressing produces threads which are processed for the production of clothing. Because with this method high water consumption and the Application of chemical agents connected, the production process was discontinued.
Today, however, newer production processes can reuse water at 99%, and all that without chemical additives, This is often done with beechwood fibers. These trees grow in our area without the addition of fertilizer, which saves transportation. Through an organic solvent, the cellulose dissolves from the wood chips. The honey-like mass is then formed into fine fibers, dried and processed into yarn. It is also beneficial that wood clothing ecologically degradable is. Popular properties of wooden clothing, for example, are that they breathable, antibacterial and suitable for allergy sufferers at a hunt.
By a similar production process can also Milk as a textile resource serve. Since 1930 became the milk protein casein pressed into fibers and processed into clothing. However, this process used to be one too big water consumption and chemical agents connected. Through modern knowledge is the production these days completely chemical-free and with very little water consumption possible.
Milk does not require long transport routes and is biodegradable. Anke Domaske shows with her company QMILKthat too untrinkable milk can be used. Thus, less milk is poured away. The garments are also said that they emollient be if their amino acids are not killed in the process. Theoretically, the garments can even be eaten, as they are completely harmless to the body and body digestible are. In an interview with the SZ The manufacturer bravely bites into a shirt and chews.
Millions of liters of milk are thrown away.
The first finds of hemp-made products were ropes, which 2800 v. Chr. in China were used. Especially in Asia and India used the tear-resistant and long-lasting natural product. It is obtained from the hemp plant whose fibers can be further processed into substances.
In Europe came the first hemp products at the time of the Celts on. It is mainly ropes that are around 500 BC. were used. Especially in shipping, the fiber was very popular. In the Middle Ages, sailcloths, ropes and sacks were made out of it.
The use of hemp went with the advent of Cotton fiber back because it was much cheaper to produce. In addition, cannabis consumption caused criticism of the plant. Although industrial hemp almost no THC content has (maximum 0,2%), the cultivation was soon banned everywhere. One of the main reasons for this was the government's anti-cannabis propaganda.
Today, clothing and products made of hemp are just one more niche product, The hemp fiber is nowadays mostly used as insulating material. The plant has many advantages over ordinary clothing fabrics. As she very resistant insects and, because of their way of growing, no weeds can develop, they do not have to be sprayed with insecticides and pesticides. This makes it very suitable for allergy sufferers. In addition, the cultivation is very inexpensive and sustainable.
Cultivation is increasing in Asia, but also France, Germany and the Czech Republic are growing hemp plants for the textile industry.
Hemp clothing can be found for example in health food stores or online at hemp love, Pure Pure or HempAge Kaufen.
Percent more fibers than a linen plant.
We summarize: Nowadays there are many alternatives to the already known raw materials for clothing, which are good for us humans and the planet. We at too Von Tiling want with our offer fair produced clothes take a step in that direction.
Due to the still very early stages of the alternatives and still further developments we observe this market and plan in this direction. Another alternative We will also present it later, probably even with a product.

The tag on one shirt says “Wash at 30 degree” and the other one is 40 degrees, but I want to wash them both together.
And that's exactly what you can do!
"Three t-shirts for only 10 Euro!" What offer! That's too good to be true. For a price like that you have to buy it straight away. But what is the real price for such bargains?
The media coverage circumnavigates the topic of Mass production of textiles unfortunately too often. A small protest in the interior is more interesting than the 10. catastrophic fire this year in a foreign factory, in which also German companies produce. The brands, who blame it, circumvent the topic as skilfully as the other media landscape and prefer to emphasize what they are socially engaged for instead. Thus, they represent an image to the outside, which corresponds to the truth in the rarest of cases.
