The search for alternatives that are less harmful to the environment has reached the textile industry, and a strong trend that has been dominating the sector is sustainable fabrics . These fabrics are made from organic raw materials , which are less harmful because they do not depend on the exploitation of nature to be manufactured. Orange peel, bamboo, linen and even pineapple are some of the sustainable materials that do not use chemicals in the production of fabrics and have been gaining many followers because they can also be recycled.

This allows the skin to breathe better and generates thermoregulation , a factor that balances body temperature and provides a peaceful night’s sleep,” says Camila Shammah, product manager at Camesa, a brand specialized in bed, table and bath products. Even the disposal of sustainable fabrics is less harmful to the environment, since many of the materials used are biodegradable . Below, we list the main ecological fabrics currently on the market:

Milk protein

Also called " Qmilk ", this fabric is made using curdled milk protein - which would otherwise be thrown away by the food industry. The fabric has a light and soft touch, reminiscent of silk, and can be used for both clothing and curtains.

Linen

Quite popular, linen is quite elegant, resistant and versatile. It requires little water to be produced and does not use pesticides in its planting .

Food fiber

Oranges, pineapples, bananas, soybeans... these foods are certainly present in any balanced diet, but they can also be used to make many incredible and cozy fabrics. Soy fiber has an elegant touch similar to cashmere, while orange fiber is super flexible , can be shiny or matte, with a texture similar to silk.

Organic cotton

Bamboo fiber
