Did you know that the composition of the clothing you wear can affect your health? More and more scientific studies warn of the need to wear
underwear free of toxic textiles . Health care and respect for the environment are two compelling reasons that inspire
Abanderado's commitment to sustainability . We are pioneers and leaders in the manufacture of eco-friendly underwear, and now we also want to explain to you the importance of choosing garments free of toxic chemicals.
The importance of wearing toxic-free underwear
Processes such as dyeing or washing textile fibers, which use products like heavy metals, alkylphenols, or
phthalates, are harmful to people's health . It's important to be
aware of this reality in order to change habits, including starting to wear only underwear free of textile toxins .
How does it affect health?
Wearing clothing containing toxic chemicals has health effects. This is even more dangerous when it comes to underwear, as it's
the most direct contact with the skin, especially in delicate areas.
The first thing that probably comes to mind are
side effects such as allergies and the associated symptoms: itching, eye irritation, rashes, or some form of dermatitis. This is undoubtedly one of the body's most common reactions to these toxic chemicals. However,
the respiratory tract can also be affected as a result of inhaling the particles they release. These harmful substances cause sneezing and coughing, or in the most severe cases, the onset of asthma or other respiratory illnesses.
At
Abanderado, we created Ecosmart , a line of
underwear free of toxic textiles , specifically to prevent our garments from harming your health. It's a
complete collection with different styles of T-shirts and underwear . All are made exclusively with
organic materials and undergo a process that doesn't use
any toxic additives .
How does it affect the environment?
Of course, the other side of consuming underwear made with harmful substances is the
polluting footprint it leaves on the planet . There are compelling figures that speak for themselves:
- It is responsible for 20% of drinking water pollution , because about 0.5 million tons of microfibers are released into oceans and seas.
- It produces 10% of carbon emissions, more than those from air and sea transport combined.
Fortunately,
textile companies like Abanderado are reacting and taking steps to change this situation. It is essential that manufacturers and consumers work together, practicing fair and responsible trade for both parties.
In the case of
Abanderado, the commitment is total, with a line of action that responds to both environmental and health-related measures. The best example is
our Ecosmart collection , with
ecological production featuring organic materials whose cultivation
minimizes water consumption . Of course, toxic chemicals are eliminated from every stage of the manufacturing process, including packaging, which is done exclusively with kraft cardboard.
It's time to take active steps to take care of ourselves and our planet. You have simple options at your fingertips, like
purchasing underwear free of textile toxins . At
Abanderado , we make it easy for you, because we're the first to feel involved with
this new paradigm that prioritizes sustainability and human well-being . The
Ecosmart line in particular, but also all of
our other underwear collections, are the result of that
commitment to helping improve our future .
