Increased pressure on global resources, energy conservation and environmental protection has driven the consumer demand for eco-compatible, compostable and biodegradable products. Textile and footwear manufactures must not only ensure products safety for consumers but also consider environmental impacts and the benefits of environmentally friendly products.
