Are you wearing toxic polyester?
Check your tags right now & find out...

Are you aware that polyester, commonly used in clothing, is essentially plastic? Shockingly, approximately 70 million barrels of oil are consumed annually to produce polyester.

The production and use of polyester contribute to environmental degradation by releasing harmful toxins. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common component of polyester, is associated with hormonal disturbances and can adversely impact fertility in both men and women. Additionally, polyester emits phytoestrogens, which disrupt the endocrine system and can lead to certain types of cancer.

Unlike hemp fibers, which naturally biodegrade, polyester can take up to 200 years to break down. Worse still, instead of decomposing, polyester fibers shed micro-plastics, with just one wash releasing thousands of these harmful particles into the water supply. Micro-plastics are a significant contributor to ocean pollution, constituting 31% of the plastic waste in our oceans and posing grave threats to marine life.

The repercussions extend beyond marine ecosystems, infiltrating our food chain as well. Studies from the Washington Post reveal that Americans ingest a minimum of 74,000 micro-plastic particles annually, equating to about the size of a credit card's worth of plastic every week. Not only are these micro-plastics environmentally disruptive, but they also pose health risks due to their toxicity.

In contrast, hemp offers a safe and eco-friendly alternative for both consumers and the planet. Hemp clothing is not only beneficial for the environment but also promotes skin health.

Hemp fabric boasts exceptional breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and excellent insulation, ensuring comfort and temperature regulation. In contrast, polyester, being the least breathable fiber, traps heat and sweat, leading to skin irritations and rashes.

 

Wearing hemp clothing promotes personal health in a variety of ways.

 

• Non-Toxic Materials on your skin 24/7
• Antimicrobial
• Pest Resistant
• UV Protection
• Moisture Wicking / Mildew Resistant
• Anti-Static: Hemp has the same net static charge as human skin, resonating perfectly with our electromagnetic fields.

 

Recent studies reveal that polyester accounts for a staggering 60% of all clothing. By opting for hemp hoodies and other organically grown natural fibers, we can mitigate environmental harm and prioritize our health and well-being.
