Comment on “Green” Fabrics are Often Really Grey by John Otsuki

Terrific presentation of data. We are constantly examining the “hidden” impacts of products and their component materials. This kind of delivery is fair, non-judgemental and allows the consumers to make better informed decisions.

I would like to see the bibliography that is referenced in the document. Please contact me with that info.

There are alternative solutions to some of the impact issues mentioned in the article which I encourge the author to look into. But, I am sure that is subject for another article alltogether.

Comment on “Green” Fabrics are Often Really Grey by Nate Simmons

Thanks for your feedback. We agree that is very important to ensure that fabrics are also safe next to skin. All Polartec fabrics are Oeko-Tex 100 certified, meaning they are certified not to contain anything harmful to human health. We are also working closely with bluesign to audit our manufacturing process to use best environmental practices when manufacturing our fabrics. And of course, our “greenest” policy may be that we build fabrics that last. Without a doubt many of our original Polartec fabrics are still in service in the form of the original Patagonia Synchilla jacket that hit the market in 1981.

I know from first hand that organic cotton clothing is a great way to naturally alleviate some skin conditions.

That is an easy call since conventional methods of cotton production use such harsh chemicals.

I have heard some varying numbers on the amount, but everyone agrees the chemicals just are bad for the earth and us.

“Traditional cotton production also attributes to 25% of worldwide insecticide use and 10% of worldwide pesticide use.”
