An Environmental
Trend
Our mission is to ensure our customers the
finest products while affecting the environment in a positive way and honoring
our employees. Thanks to Fair Trade, Bamboo, and the Organic Cotton
Industry, that is a possibility.
Conventionally grown cotton
requires more hazardous pesticides than any other field crop in the world,
a major contribution to green house gases. An estimated 3/4 pounds of
chemical pesticides and fertilizers are used to produce one pair of jeans.
Aside from the obvious runoff into our precious ocean, numerous cases of cancers and other
disease have been reported in areas growing typical cotton. Traces of the
chemicals can remain in a finished fabric, leaving a hazardous chemical to
interact with each consumer it touches, near or far from the source. For
the health of our customers, employees, family, friends, and the environment, Unyted
has decided to source only the finest eco-friendly materials for
our products.
The Dig on Bamboo
Bamboo has the potential to be one of the most sustainable natural fibers on earth. It can grow up to three feet overnight(yes, three
feet!) and reach a mature height of 75 feet in less than three months.
Bamboo is 100% biodegradable and has a natural anti-bacterial component,
eliminating the need for pesticides. It also uses a fraction of the water
cotton requires, thriving on minimal rainfall, even tolerating drought. It
produces 35% more oxygen and reduces five times the amount of greenhouse
gases than its equivalent in trees. Not to mention Bamboo is a lighter
fiber than cotton, making it silky soft and more breathable, while
retaining the same durability.
The Organic
difference
Organically
grown cotton, although less green than its Bamboo alternative, has a more
efficient weaving structure. To extract the fibers from Bamboo hasn't reached
its full potential in "green"ability For this reason, Unyted has decided to
continue producing Organic Cotton clothing as well.
Fair
Trade
Often, when a
company looks overseas to manufacture their product at a lower cost, they don't
take into consideration the reason behind the price drop. Usually this means an inconceivably
low wage for its hard
workers; also known as Sweatshop work. Unyted is seeking to uplift the human
race, not subjugate it. We have sourced our products through "Fair Trade"
manufacturers-meaning we put our employees and the environment first.
