Eco Friendly Fabrics
ChuangHung-Textile don’t talk about sustainability just because it is
fashionable. We are not into “green washing”, on the contrary, we believe in a serious, clear
and concrete commitment. For years now, we have offered recycled fabrics which is made of ECONYL
yarn to our customers for a long time. Once the fabric get full using of their lifetime, it can
be recovered and regenerated by means of a chemical-physical process instead of being
disposable. Let’s find out more about this journey involving, in addition to ChuangHung-Textile,
two very important partners: Healthy Seas and Aquafil SpA.
8 million tons of wastes end up in our seas every single year.
640 thousand tons of fishing nets are abandoned at the bottom of the ocean. (data sourced
from FAO and UNEP)
Such alarming data tell us that, unless the situation changes, by 2050 our seas may
contain more garbage than fish.
We need to change our approach radically, cohabiting with Nature in the best possible way,
and considering the importance of a limited resource such as water. We need to be more deeply
aware of this situation and change our
mentality completely.
Since 2016 ChuangHung-Textile have been supporting “Healthy Seas” an initiative putting
together a non governmental association and several businesses sharing a common mission:
cleaning our planet waters from pollution,
including the ghost fishing nets which kill so many sea creatures. Healthy Seas boasts another
two fold objective:
- collaborating with fishing communities to enforce preventive actions to reduce the pollution caused by discarded fishing nets and to find new solutions for disposing of them in a financially and environmentally sustainable way
- running some training programmes to promote the importance of more environmentally responsible choices.
