Depending on where you live, consider adding linen, lyocell, and hemp! Look into them they have great characteristics and from an environmental standpoint they are pretty good. From your comment I guess you don't live anywhere where you would need wool, but also a personal favorite of mine. I like cotton but the weather where I live makes it so I need some others in the mix 😅
@@curlyfryactual thank you! Currently in the south but will be moving back up north so I’ll be buying some wool socks to keep me warm for the rest of the winter. And yes hemp and linen and Lyocell is great!
Great information! Thank you! Let's also not forget that polyester is a known carcinogen or cancer causing. The phthalates in these types of shirts are released into the water during washing as was brought out but they are also released into the air and onto the skin when worn. The skin then soaks up these cancer causing chemicals or you breathe them in through the air! Thanks!
Yeah, and? I was only interested in how polyester was made. More of it is being used than ever before, so let's also not forget that all the "sky is falling" virtue signaling in the world isn't gonna change that. We need clothes. I'm just curious how they're made. We're all still here. The sun keeps rising. The world keeps turning, even with polyester "out there". Just relax. It'll be alright.
@@e.l.norton Lol you ask me to "relax" like my original comment was directed towards you? I'm confused or you're mistaken. Who knows. I'm sorry that the facts I've laid out in my original comment hurt you in some way. Please relax, they are just facts. Take care.
@@coolpeoplethings Yes, the majority of my clothes have it and when I found out I was distraught. One must realize these companies don't care about your health, they care about your dollar.
@@coconut6839 This material has been used for almost 100 years. It's nothing new. Every single thing we use, own, wear, etc can be deemed "bad" in some way, shape or form. The cell phones were probably all using to post these comments with produce toxic byproducts and contain all kinds of "bad" stuff. Short of going back to log cabins, there is no way to avoid it. Even then, somebody would be whining that cutting down trees to build shelter was "bad". We all just need to live our lives in the world as it is and stop worrying ourselves into lactose intolerance. Just get dressed and don't worry. 😂
I am starting out a clothing brand and am wanting it to be eco-friendly for sure. I have looked into this idea of using plastics to produce my products. Do you have any recommendations of what would be best to use? or can you point me in a direction of anything that would relate to my idea please? :) Cheers Or even if it's a good idea lol
The issue i have is that while Polyester makes for a cheaper option it's also very abundant. It is not a bad material if you remove the ecological aspects. But the issue i have is that it can be hard to find good clothes made out of cotton or wool that is not super expensive. It's just kind of hard to find modern clothes made today that are made 100% of natural materials. Either they are a mix out of Polyester and cotton or they are made 100% of polyester.
Certainly puts in perspective companies who use it to convey luxury, charge so much for it when really it’s cheap plastic like Ramy Brook. $300 for a plastic tank top
Hi everyone. Interested in plastic recycling? And the REAL reason plastic is rarely recycled. Check out this video :) th-cam.com/video/HK2-soav-k8/w-d-xo.html

It’s so sad that some people don’t even have the money to buy real clothes made of cotton , linen or wool etc I’ve even got some plastic clothes but wish I hadn’t unfortunately it’s all about money again. You don’t realise how bad these cancer causing clothing is , they should be banned.
The worst possible material you could use on your body, a cheap man made fibre that is easy to use for printing logos on, designers got lazy and started using this silly material because it’s easy to maintain even though it looks silly. Polyester is not fit for a rag.

polyester clothing is considered a major cause of microplastics in your body.
I’m slowly phasing out all my clothes to 100% cotton/silk clothing and I just feel better when I’m wearing all cotton. Thanks for the information!

Don't forget real linen!! Especially when it's hot out.

Don't forget your bedding. What you sleep on matters as well.
@@curlyfryactualYes, I'm slowly phasing all my clothing to cotton, linen, hemp, and similar nature made materials.

Straight to the point and simple
Great video!
Exactly the video I needed, thank you!
Awesome video. Informative and straight to the point.
Valuable info... i always wanted to know where it comes from..thank you!
Great explanation. Thanks so much!
Very educative

If you use plastic, even recycled plastic, you're contributing to the demand for plastic.
100% cotton or silk. Organic when possible.
@mostdopecaptain335polyester on filters made of plastic that cause cancer usa like china they don't care for money0
Very good positive and negative information--good for wicking sweat, often a disaster for environmental concerns
At least they recycle plastic.

Loved the video man!
Awful to learn how much plastic is in the water due to clothing. Hopefully natural fabrics like wool and mycelium will become more popular
Awesome video but my attention was focused on that art piece to your left my right🔥🔥🔥 I want it

Love your videos 😁😁 great energy !!
Wow...my blankets are so soft yet it's plastic!
With the price of clothing these days you’d think we would conserve them longer. I guess not 🤷♂️
please make a playlist of your plastic explanation videos

I cant get static out of my polyester clothes. I've tried everything. Cotton is too itchy
Well Dennis, have u tried full organic cotton clothing and used a hypoallergenic laundry detergent such as ecos
@@nothanks1289 I found out that I'm the culprit, not my clothes. I'm literally a big ball of static
Is polyester microfiber bedsheets safe
I very much doubt it , if washing releases fibres then sheets will as well always use cotton if you can

It's garbage. Literally and figuratively
Can't stand the feel of polyester I wonder what it was😢😢😮😮
We ingest 5 grams of micro plastics a week! Our clothes have to be a huge contributor considering we wear it constantly… 😢
❤️
It's toxic. Don't ware it. Unless you don't care about your long term health. Then do whatever you want..
Agreed
Says the guy wearing cotton and Linen
Is this hot on bed while sleeping specially on summer.
Well, that’s depressing…
I think you inhaled too much "plastic".
Microplastic is the least concern, its cancer on your skin
Don't you mean Polyamorous?
I used to think all am wearing is wool
