It
is not just clothing going green, the same materials
are being used for a variety of cap styles. Here is some
background on a few of the materials and products we
like best.
LOW PROFILE
(STRUCTURED)
100% ORGANIC COTTON
LOW PROFILE LIGHT WEIGHT BRUSHED
PET SPUN FABRIC
LOW PROFILE (UN) PET SPUN/BAMBOO
CHARCOAL FIBER RUNNING CAP
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic
cotton-growing programs help move farmers through the changeover
from chemically-dependent
to more biologically sound approaches.
Organic
cotton caps come in a range of colors
or can be ordered "natural" meaning
without dye.
We suggest organic
cotton because it is:
Pure and
breathable making it ideal for delicate skin
Grown
and processed without the use of toxic chemicals, oils
or pesticides
Lasts longer than non-organic cotton
because it retains its natural composition
Better
for the environment because sustainable farming does
not pollute groundwater, surface
water, soil
or air
100% biodegradable
RECYCLED
POLYESTER / PET SPUN FABRIC
Benefits of recycled and recyclable
polyester caps
They lessen dependence on
oil.
Curbs discarded polyester, thereby prolonging landfill
life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators.
Helps
to promote a new recycling stream for polyester
clothing that is no longer wearable.
Creates
less air,
water and soil contamination.
BAMBOO
A sixty-foot tree cut
for market takes 60 years to replace. Meanwhile, a
sixty-foot bamboo cut for market takes 59
days to replace (International Network for Bamboo and
Rattan (INBAR)). Bamboo is officially recognized as the
world's
fastest growing plant and has a tensile strength comparable
to steel. Bamboo makes a perfect renewable material for
caps, with a feel between cotton and silk.
We suggest natural
bamboo because it is:
Soft and breathable
Hypo allergenic and provides
UVA protection
The world's most prolific and fast-growing
plant
Inherently organic and is grown without pesticides
or chemicals
Fast-drying, moisture-wicking and
thermal-regulating
100% biodegradable
