Why use polypropylene instead of cotton?
Products and garments made from polypropylene often cost a tenth of traditional cotton items. Cotton also will require regular laundering which requires transportation to and from the laundry, a hot environmentally harming 85 degrees C wash and the logistics of returning each item to an individual. Whilst the item is away at the laundry at least one spare will be required adding to the overall expense. The cost of regularly sending garments to the laundry plus the man hours involved will be considerable over 2 years and the cotton items will still need final disposal. Polypropylene garments can be sent for recycling with other plastics when no longer suitable to be worn or used. Advantages of using polypropylene. Lower cost, convenience and always having a clean product available.
