What Are the Benefits of Buying Organic Baby Clothes?
When we buy items for our children, we all want them to be the best quality that they can be. Cheaper alternatives are not always seen as the best choice anymore. These sorts of items, although beneficial for their price, are not beneficial in terms of the quality.
Firstly, they wear out far quicker because the production techniques are not as good and also, the material is of poor quality. These two factors mean that you will end up spending lots more money on replacements. Not only this, but the material used is usually polyester. This is rather rough and so can cause irritation on a baby’s sensitive skin.
Another reason for fewer people opting for lower quality clothing is due to the bad production techniques associated with them. One way to keep production costs down and ensure baby clothing is so low in price is the use of sweatshops and other illegal and immoral methods. This sees people in poor countries work in terrible conditions, for hours on end in return for minimum pay. Such inhumane conditions are being condemned and consumers are starting to see that they have the power to put an end to such practices.
Fashion and the environment
Another way in which the production of these cheap clothes negatively impacts the world is through the emissions and waste that it produces. The creation of the materials uses up non-renewable resources including oil and plastic. They are made in factories and sweatshops that emit thousands of tonnes of emissions.
After this, they then have to be shipped all over the world on ships and aeroplanes that require fuel. Once they have reached their destination, vans and lorries then transport them on to their final destination. All in all, making these garments is a disaster for the planet and for those living on it.
Opting for clothes that use better materials are highly likely to avoid at least some of these unwanted effects. They will be built to last resulting in less money being spent on replacements and less waste going to landfill. Many of the higher quality materials that could be used come from far better production practices. They are made in working conditions that are fair for their workers and they don’t require as many non-renewable resources. All in all, purchasing these sorts of sustainable products including organic baby clothes will help to contribute towards a better world for all.
Pushing for innovation
Traditionally, cotton has been the long-standing staple in organic materials. This is because it can be grown with organic principles easily and because it has been used in clothing for thousands of years. But with the focus on sustainability rising every year, more suitable alternatives have had to be found in order to alleviate the demand for cotton and also allow organicism to be up to date.
One way it has achieved this is through finding other suitable sources of organic materials. Two of the more promising alternatives are bamboo and hemp. Researchers have been able to turn these plants into sustainable and organic materials suitable for use in clothing. Given that these plants are also sustainable to grow, this really helps to contribute to the cause within which organicism is grounded.
It’s important to continuously be innovative in this industry, otherwise, no positive change will ever come around. Businesses and consumers alike would stick with what they know thus contributing further to the climate disaster we are heading towards. Offering new and promising alternatives such as this opens the door to future possibilities.
Access to a more niche range of products
Because organic clothes and other products for babies are still a rather niche market, they tend to have a different look to standard options, using natural dyes and low impact production methods. This is great if you want to stand out from the crowd. The designs are likely to be different from anything that you would find in high street stores. So if you want your baby to look the best, then this is a great way to go about it!
Of course, these specialised items will also be of great quality too. They will be built to last and also will keep your baby as comfortable as they possibly can be due to the absence of polyester and other unwanted materials.
