Eco labeling

Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe

This article presents an analysis of changes that have occurred in recent times in legislation relating to the safety and labelling of textile products in connection with the coming into force of harmonised Community regulations relating to products containing textile fibres intended for sale on the EU market, with a presentation of a range of issues which may be the subject of future Community legislation. The article discusses, mainly in terms of design, current safety requirements for textile products and also provides guidance for the design of new textile solutions in relation to the assessment of potential adverse effects on the human body.

What guarantees are there in buying one of the most frequently purchased products? Considered unanimously as the first modern industrial activity, the textile sector was introduced into Spain in the nineteenth century. At that date, Spain was a country mainly centered on agriculture, with the exception of Catalonia and the Basque Country as the first two industrialized regions. In its beginnings, the textile production was dominated by its artisanal nature, being manufactured from natural materials such as lamb's wool, linen or cotton. Nowadays, Spain is among the top major world powers in fashion. 1 The fashion sector advances with giant steps and this is possible thanks to the internationalization of local firms, innovation in buying-selling channels, the originality of the materials and processes, strategic alliances and service quality (Gumbau 1998; Coll and Blasco 2009; Sojo 2012; Kosińska et al. 2014) Concerning the textile sector, the labelling requires a particular study, being an aspect of great relevance and which is in the spotlight: labelling is the most effective way of linking with the consumer the maker's indications regarding the

This paper enables stakeholders involved in textile industry to gain an overview of standards used for care labelling and help establish a common standard that could be used as a universal standard. This study provides a comprehensive and detailed analytical study of care labelling standards adopted by common countries in the textile market. It was found that the development of a universal system for care labeling could enhance the trade of textile articles and assist consumers in caring for textile articles. Universal care label systems could be characterized by two main features of inclusiveness and comprehensiveness. The range of instructions and symbols presented were found different among standards. Insignificant differences in symbols' shapes were found between standards for bleaching, ironing and professional cleaning. The washing process had the widest variety of instructions; in addition, options were provided by stated standards. Different meanings were found for similar shapes in some tumble drying symbols. The study findings show the importance of enhancing text based standards or the development of an understandable format across as many cultures as possible. The unification of symbols and meanings may be needed to provide global consumers consistent guidance. The efficiency of a detailed standard that provides and covers a wide range of instructions is an important aspect. The visibility and practicality of offering variable options/symbols in one standard is an important aspect for developing a universal care label system.

This Complete Textile Glossary is intended to be a convenient reference for textile terminology. Although it covers all types of textile terms broadly, its special emphasis is on manufactured fibers -what they are, how they are made, and how they are used.

This author focuses on Indonesian textiles with ethnic-group characteristics and various material attributes. Examinations were conducted, which then resulted in 'the classification system'. His classification system provides the implications for structural (anatomical), materials and technical studies. More than 2000 textile objects in the custody of Museum Nasional of Indonesia were examined by various analytical methods. This paper discusses identification, naming and systematical classification for 'weaving/ non-weaving and coloration techniques.'

The main purpose of the eco-label is to stimulate consumers to buy environmentally-sound products and, in turn, to stimulate producers to produce in an environmentally friendly manner. Labels allow consumers to make comparisons among products. Consumers are also provided with the ability to reduce the environmental impacts of their daily activities by purchasing environmentally preferable and healthy products and by minimizing adverse consequences during use and disposal. Eco-labeling has emerged globally as a differentiating factor in retail markets for textile and apparel purchases. It is a primary tool for marketing to well-informed and ‘green’ customer; thus, eco-labeling has become very important to the development of a sustainable and credible textile industry. The Ecolabel Index currently contains brief details about 449 eco-labels in 197 countries and 25 industry sectors.

Textiles sectors serve up the outfit needs of every day and this industry plays a major role in the economy of the country. All the textile fabrics are either natural or synthetic fibers or a blend of both. Different types of dyes are used for different kinds of fabrics depending on the nature and type of the fabric to be dyed, to impart color, modify the fabric to make them more attractive and astonishing. In short, the introduction of synthetic dyes resulted in the demise of a massive natural dye industry. So, it's necessary to classify the different types of dyes with the increase in the number of types and varying dyeing properties so that this would be a best way to understand the different types of dyes, their applicability, fastness and other properties. In this article, a source for the beginners is provided to understand different kind of the textile fabrics and their importance as well as their drawbacks, dyes and their various types, their interaction with the corresp...

In this paper, the author explores new gaps in the Shi 勢 of the “Big G” diagram, where this form of Shi is a variable field interwoven structure representing overlay of powers, regions (of the five forces of life), and laws of physics, rather than the adverb/adjective-esque “positional advantage”. The F power in this context tends to represent the Field, or Field Dynamics (FD) of the powers (yin side) rather than the {Plasma-Electromagnetic} Force. Nevertheless, the author explores the laws of Evolution/Flux (Change Theory), Resonance, and Vibration, the latter in particular reference to manifestation. The paper terminates with an update to the issues this presents when observing the POS Theory motivations present in western culture/global society, as well as how declining virtues and mimsicality relate to the Changes, rather than say a moral, ethical (perse), or theurgical urgency; ‘theurgency’ or imperative. Judgmentalism should be set aside for a chance to say what is objective, and all negative connotations should not be assumed as implied, and the author rejects the negativity of the bigotry of all sides that would object to the open discussion of differing fields.
