The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It accounts for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, 20% of freshwater pollution, and 20% of pesticide use.
In the healthcare sector, textiles represent about 10% of the waste produced by hospitals. These wastes are often single-use and therefore discarded after a single use.
The current manufacturing of textiles from natural or synthetic materials is environmentally unfriendly: it involves significant water, energy, and natural resource consumption, as well as environmental pollution (air, water).
Greentexlife offers a sustainable textile solution made from agricultural residues* without any chemical intervention and therefore recyclable.
This solution has numerous advantages, including:
Manufacturing with an excellent carbon footprint
Fabrics with unique characteristics such as comfort, longevity, reduced flammability, and hygroscopicity.
