Especially when the subject no fashion wardrobe basic, it is
worthwhile to set ecologically produced goods
Ecologically and fairly produced clothes must now be on every
international fashion show more. Heat the other hand, always changing
faster collection and dumping prices in the clothing consumption: 18
kg every citizen buys per year - that is world class.
But most consumers is clear: only an exploitative system of production
can always flood the flood of cheaper clothing in our stores.
Indeed, since the beginning of the 90s have organizations like the
Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) repeatedly reported on child labor,
poverty wages, excessive overtime and abuse in the textile industry in
Asia, Latin America and Africa. Want to accept but not to most
consumers. "It's important to buy products that were manufactured
under humane conditions", 2009, nearly 95 percent of the respondents
of the "Otto-Trend Study" ("The future of ethical consumption") to.
Demand grows
In fact, the fair trade worldwide by 2008, 25 percent, and in Germany
by 50 percent - probably thanks to a strong marketing tool. The black
and blue-green "Fair Trade" label, according to a familiar Infratest
survey 44.4 percent, and it enjoys as the hexagonal organic label for
food is a high degree of credibility. A similar seal with a high level
of awareness is lacking so far in the booming market of green fashion.
Many confuse Siegel
Each manufacturer provides its own collection of bio-labels. Whether
"Organic Cotton", "Pure Wear" or "Organic Collection" - they all have
in common: they only say something about the raw material. He comes
from "certified organic" (organic) is a great gain. No other crop so
much chemistry and how water is used for cotton. 28 000 deaths and
150,000 poisonings per year, according to the World Health
Organization, the result.
The cultivation of organic cotton is not only healthier for the
farmers, but also economically meaningful. Because they achieve higher
prices and reduce expenses for pesticides and fertilizers. The 'green'
label but neither betrayed, like a lot of chemicals in bleaching,
dyeing and finishing is used, under what social conditions have
created the jeans or T-shirt. Besides the five largest in the booming
organic cotton market - in 2008 there were 63 percent increase in
sales - Walmart, C & A, Nike, H & M and Zara to appear more and more
small 'green' companies. How many of the Eco Fashion World of
Intenetportal listed 630 manufacturers produce but actually is fair to
judge more difficult. Are ecologically and ethically correct textile
label, it has only recently - the inspectors come, however, with the
flood of applications for certification no.
