Sustainable Clothing from Oranges Clothing Made from Oranges Peel
Have you ever thought about what would happen if we started using orange peel to make clothing? Some companies have decided to try it out and found that there are plenty of benefits compared to the traditional materials used in clothing manufacturing, like cotton or wool. Read on to learn more about sustainable clothing from oranges, its benefits and how it can change the fashion industry as we know it today.
The process of making orange peel fabric When you peel an orange, do you think about its skin? Researchers at One100 of Technology have done just that and found a way to turn orange peel into fabric. Called Orange Fiber, it’s made by crushing down orange peels into a pulp that is then treated with enzymes to extract cellulose fibers. A spinning machine turns these fibers into yarns, which are then knitted into material.
The benefits of orange fabric Orange peels are easily accessible and cheap. Orange peel contains chemical called d-limonene. It can be used to make fibers as well as microencapsulate natural oils so they won’t go bad. D-Limonene is anti-bacterial, which means it could potentially kill off germs that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli or salmonella.
Why should we choose orange fabric over natural fibers? The world has a large shortage of natural fibers and cotton being one of them. Orange peel has been proven to be an abundant, low-cost, non-toxic source of
cellulose. Cellulose is what gives fiber its strength, durability and elasticity.
