The environment offers an array of materials that can be utilized as fabric. The use of these sustainable fabrics have slowly found its way in the manufacturing of a number of products, and a lot more could be on the way with a little imagination and creativity.

It's true, chrome is a natural element - just like mercury and asbestos. :) But you've made an excellent point about pollution management. Some would say that using a small amount of "harmful" stuff and handling it properly is greener than using a lot of "natural" stuff to achieve the same effect. (As in paper vs. plastic bags.) I'll continue this discussion on resource conservation in a future post about synthetic vs. natural dyes. Thanks for your comment.

Hi

Generally a well balanced article with some good points. A couple of other comments though. Dont assume that because you but veg tanned leather is doesnt come from a polluting tannery. Some of the nastiest tanneries I have visited have been veg tanners. PCP hasnt been used in main stream tanning for decades.Chrome tanning is still one of the better tanning methods and if managed effectively the residual chrome can minimal. We should also remember that chrome is a natural element that comes out of earth. It is the poor management and accummulation of chrome waste in tanning cities or conglomerations that cause the problem. All the different tanning systems have issues and really it is about how the leather manufacturing process is controlled not the type of tanning agent. Lets remember everybody thought that biofuels was great when we were car bashing...until we destroyed massive chunks of the Brazilian rain forest trying to produce it.....good post though an educated and balanced approach has the best effect...in my humble opinion
