While recycling polyester may seem like a sustainable choice, it comes with limitations and environmental concerns. Many garments are intricate blends of polyester and other materials, making recycling challenging and often limited. Additionally, the processes involved in recycling can introduce colour inconsistencies, leading to high levels of re-dyeing, which demand significant water, energy, and chemical resources. Moreover, man-made fabrics, whether virgin or recycled, release microplastics into the environment with each wash cycle, contributing to the global microplastic pollution problem. At Zeguea, we offer a better alternative with our unbleached and undyed collection, crafted from certified organic cotton, reducing environmental impact, including water consumption, and ensuring a cleaner, greener choice for conscious fashion. Make a sustainable statement with Zeguea.
