Green fashion, ecological clothing, and organic cotton are terms that are increasingly mentioned in the public media. But what truly defines ecological clothing, where do the pitfalls lie in clothing production, and how can consumers make an impact? Many processes in the textile chain, such as dyeing or printing textiles and laundry care, are often underestimated in their ecological significance. Eco-labels identify ecological, skin-friendly, and fairly produced textiles, but the number of textile labels is large, and their meanings are not always clear. Instead of dissecting individual processes, this book comprehensively presents all ecologically relevant aspects of the clothing lifecycle, informs about technical innovations and the detailed significance of eco-labels, and compares different fibers in terms of their ecological balance.
