Organic clothing is challenging to find in most stores. You'll find many items that are advertised as “cotton,” but when you look at the label, you’ll find:
- Polyamide
- Polyester
- Acrylic
- Many others
And all of these materials are not what you would consider sustainable clothing. Instead, they’re a result of the rapidly growing fast fashion industry that is expected to double in popularity by 2027.
The hidden danger in these items, not including the massive increase in waste and clothes ending up in landfills, is that microplastics are making its way into your kid’s body.
What are Microplastics in Clothing?
Microplastics are small plastic particles that are released from synthetic clothing (and other items). Hundreds of thousands of these small particles are released into wastewater when washing clothes, but there is evidence of early development issues in children who wear these items.
How are Microplastics Impacting Your Child’s Health?
A study from 2022 found that kids – just like yours – may have microplastics in their:
- Digestive system
- Circulatory system
- Reproductive system
We don’t know the full extent of how these harmful plastics will affect our kids in the future, but preliminary studies don’t look promising. At Fabrica Kraft, we’re inspired to make a change and become one of the leading ethical online clothing stores for babies and kids with items that are:
- Organic and free from harmful chemicals
- Sustainable
We're committed to the health of babies, especially during their formative growth years. You can check out our:
Acrylic, polyester, nylon, and similar fabrics account for 69% of all clothing materials, and simply reducing the amount of clothing your child wears with them can make a huge difference to their health.
You might not be able to eliminate 100% of the microplastics in your child’s clothing, but even small reductions offer significant benefits.
