1. Reduce resource consumption
Compared with traditional woven interlinings, non-woven interlinings have significant resource saving effects. The traditional weaving process requires multiple complex process steps such as spinning and weaving. The production process of non-woven interlining is relatively simple. The fibers are usually fixed into cloth through processes such as thermal bonding, needle punching, and spray glue. By reducing the tedious weaving process, nonwoven interlinings can significantly reduce the consumption of energy and water resources during the production process.
2. Reduce waste and pollution
The environmental performance of nonwoven interlinings is not only reflected in resource conservation during the production process, but also in its excellent waste treatment capabilities. Traditional fabrics often produce a large amount of leftovers and waste during the production process. Non-woven interlinings can effectively reduce the generation of production waste due to the high efficiency in the production process and the reusability of materials.
3. Use renewable materials
Most of the production materials for nonwoven interlinings can be derived from renewable resources. For example, synthetic fiber raw materials such as polyester fiber can be made from recycled waste plastics, which not only reduces dependence on primary petroleum resources, but also reduces the accumulation of plastic waste and has significant environmental benefits. More and more textile companies are beginning to use recycled polyester fiber to produce non-woven interlinings, thus further promoting the textile industry to move towards sustainable development.
4. Reduce water pollution and chemical use
The textile industry is one of the major sources of global water pollution, especially in the weaving and dyeing processes where large amounts of water and chemical dyes are used. Compared with traditional woven fabrics, the production process of non-woven interlinings does not require dyeing and finishing processes, thus avoiding the use of a large number of chemicals and dyes, which directly reduces pollution to water bodies and soil.
5. Promote the use of biodegradable products
As consumers become more aware of environmental protection, the demand for degradable materials is gradually increasing. An important environmental advantage of nonwoven interlinings is their material degradability. Some types of nonwoven interlinings are produced from natural fibers or biodegradable materials, which can degrade naturally after use and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.
6. Support green production and environmental certification
Many nonwoven interlining manufacturers follow environmental protection standards in their production processes and have obtained international environmental certifications, such as OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Global Recycle Standard (GRS), etc. These certifications not only ensure that no harmful substances are used in the production process of the nonwoven interlining, but also guarantee its recyclability and environmental protection. By choosing nonwoven interlinings with environmental certification, clothing manufacturers can better meet consumers' requirements for environmental protection and sustainable development, and enhance the market competitiveness of their products.
