New Year with a new look!

Before starting our shopping haul, we have the responsibility to know how every piece of clothing we buy would affect the environment. In the latest article” Impact of The Apparel Industry on Biodiversity and Possible Interventions ” issued on Textile Today had pointed out the negative effects of textiles on biodiversity.

The process of raw material production involves dyeing and treatment, which overexploit freshwater resources and contaminate waterways through chemical runoff and nonbiodegradable liquid waste. Moreover, the waste made by humans is also a headache. It is estimated that 73 percent of the textile wastes are incinerated or end up in landfills, which release pollutants into the surroundings and endanger wildlife habitats. Anywhere from 30 to 300 species per hectare may be lost during the development of just one landfill site. These issues cause yardage production to be notorious for damaging the environment.

 To prevent the great influence on the environment and twist the stereotype, Maxland is trying best to minimize negative effects and innovate the way we manufacture our products. Besides producing with various sustainable materials, we have newly developed bio-degradable yarns trying to bring new solutions tackling environmental issues. We also produce textile with solution dye method. Adding colors directly in chips before being drawn into yarn reduces 90% water and 21% energy consumption, even with the functional membrane, such as vapor permeability, that uses recycled materials or bio-based components.
Here are the biodegradable products provided by Maxland:
