Animal manure compost is not used when growing vegan products. Traditionally, the main source of animal compost is cow dung. Well composted cow dung can contain hormones, antibiotics, live weed seeds and other diseases. Salmonella and escherichia coli bacteria are found in compost fertilizers and can infect crops and field workers. Local water bodies near fields may also contain high levels of these bacteria.
Cow manure compost also contributes to global warming. Animal compost under high air temperature releases greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These damage the ozone layer.
Vegan crop farming is based on a zero-waste system where agricultural waste is broken down into small pieces and turned into compost for the next season. This process is a slow one compared to animal fertilization. However, they do not have side effects such as greenhouse gases into the atmosphere or bacterial release into groundwater. Plant-based compost keeps the soil fertile for longer.
On the other hand, finishing of vegan fabrics is not done with animal oil-based softening solvent. Absolutely plant-based environmentally friendly softer solvent is used.
Vegan textiles are generally produced using hemp, linen, and lyocell fabrics. Hemp is one of the most sustainable textile products known. Linen is one of the oldest fibers used in textile production. The raw material for lyocell fabric is oak, birch, and eucalyptus fibers.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also vegan textile analysis services.
