Most important is our commitment to using eco-dyes. Both our clay dyeing process and our low-impact dyes eliminate artificially produced chemical dyestuffs and require no salt. All other components found in our clay dyeing process are of natural origin or biodegradable. Our Keyna V low-impact dyes also meet the strict guidelines of the Organic Trade Association Fiber standards. In other words, they are a better choice for you and our planet.
As a comparison, conventionally produced dyes, and even more frequently the by-products of producing these dyes, are toxic. Additionally, many conventional processes use amazingly large quantities of kitchen salt. Though tasty in our food, salt causes irreversible harm to the ecosystems in our rivers, lakes, and underground water sources when released from a commercial dye house. In many cases, conventional dyeing processes have been expelled from the USA. (to foreign countries) because they do not comply with EPA regulations. Yet, due to the relaxed environmental laws in many foreign countries, the final products do make their way to the USA and elsewhere.
We at earth creations are trying our best to make a difference by bringing social consciousness to the multi-billion dollar apparel industry. Thank you, our customer, for supporting our business and helping us to further achieve this goal.
