What are the common eco-friendly materials in the world?

With the growing awareness of environmental protection, there are more and more environmentally friendly products in life, environmentally friendly cosmetic bags, shopping bags, energy and so on. Covering a wide range of fields such as daily consumption and industrial manufacturing, both mature applications and cutting-edge technologies.

 Natural biodegradable material: a gift from nature

1. Plant-based fiber
Bamboo fiber: natural anti-bacteria, moisture absorption and quick drying, planting without pesticides, the growth cycle is only 3-5 years (1/10 of trees), commonly used in environmentally friendly apparel and home furnishings. 
Linen / hemp fiber: drought-resistant and easy to grow, no irrigation, made of breathable fabrics, 100% soil degradation after disposal, known as “breathing environmental fabrics”. 
Pineapple leather (Piñatex): made from pineapple leaf fiber, texture is similar to leather, lightweight and durable, has been included in the supply chain of LVMH and other luxury groups.

2. Biopolymers
Mycelial materials: made using fungal mycelium cultivated on agricultural waste (e.g., corn stover), which can be used as a substitute for Styrofoam for packaging and even grow into customized furniture shapes that decompose to become plant fertilizers. 
Algae-based materials: extracted from kelp and spirulina, they can be made into edible packaging films (e.g., mineral water “water balloons”), which dissolve when exposed to water or are decomposed by marine organisms, solving the plastic waste problem.

Recycled materials: giving “garbage” a new lease of life

1. Plastic recycling family
RPET (recycled polyester fiber): waste mineral water bottles are crushed, melted and then spun. Every ton of rPET recycled can reduce 6.5 tons of carbon emissions, and it is commonly used in sports brand sweatshirts and outdoor punching jackets (e.g., Patagonia's classic series). 
Marine recycled plastics: fishing nets and buoys salvaged from coastlines and oceans are processed to make nylon fibers (e.g., Adidas and Parley's marine plastic running shoes), which not only reduces emissions but also protects the marine ecosystem.

2. Metal and glass recycling
Recycled Aluminum: Recycling aluminum cans requires only 5% of the energy used to turn them from scrap to new beverage cans in 30 days, and globally, enough aluminum is recycled to make 100,000 cars each year. 
Recycled glass: Infinitely recyclable, crushed and melted at high temperatures to make new glass bottles, construction glass, and even paving materials, reducing pressure on quartz sand mining.

Low carbon emission reduction black technology material

1. Carbon capture materials
CO₂-based plastics: industrial emissions of carbon dioxide are converted through a chemical process into polycarbonate, which is used to make eyeglass frames, car parts, and to reduce greenhouse gases at the source (e.g., L'Oreal's carbon-neutral lipstick tubes). 
Carbon Negative Concrete: With the addition of recycled fly ash, slag and other industrial wastes, some brands (e.g. Ecocem in the UK) have concrete that absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere during the curing process to achieve “carbon negative emissions”.

2. New sustainable materials
Graphene-modified materials: super materials composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, which can reduce energy consumption in buildings by adding them to paints (30% increase in thermal insulation), and can be used in lithium batteries to extend the range of electric vehicles, with a low-pollution production process. 
Aerogel: the world's lightest solid material, thermal insulation performance is 39 times that of traditional glass, only 3mm thickness can replace 30cm brick wall, so that the building energy consumption is reduced by 70%, known as “breathing thermal insulation clothing”.

Certification standards: how to recognize true environmental protection? 
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Certification): Ensures that fabrics are free of chemical pollution from cultivation to processing, and bans genetically modified crops. 
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council): wood/paper from sustainably harvested forests, protecting biodiversity. 
C2C (Cradle to Cradle Certified): The highest environmental standards, requiring materials to be infinitely recyclable and zero waste water and emissions from the production process.

Our company is committed to the development of environmental protection, the company bags vigorously promote environmentally friendly materials such as cosmetic bags, shopping bags.Such as linen make up bag, rpet shopping bag, recyclable PU leather makeup bag, pineapple leather wash bag and so on.

When “biodegradable” and “carbon neutral” are no longer marketing labels, but technological revolutions integrated into the material's DNA, every time we consume, we are voting for the planet. From wearing linen shirts converted from old clothes to drinking milk tea in dissolvable packaging, eco-friendly materials are weaving a sustainable future with the dual wisdom of technology and nature.
