What are the critical issues with typical pillows and pillowcases?
The composition label
By focusing our attention on the composition label, an element often overlooked but of extreme importance for an initial qualitative evaluation of a pillow and/or pillowcase, it is possible to understand which fibres are most commonly used for their production:
- Synthetic fibers
- Artificial fibers
- Polyester padding or other names related to it
- Non-certified and/or traceable cotton or feathers
- Non-definable fibres and elements which are claimed to be eco-friendly/recycled through misleading marketing campaigns.
Pillowcases and cushions with chemical elements
For more than a third of our lives, our face and hair are covered by a pillow , pillowcase , or other bedding product, which puts our bodies in direct contact with chemicals that are harmful to our health.
- fibres derived directly or indirectly and from chemical transformations of petroleum derivatives (synthetic fibres)
- fibres obtained from chemical processes which, although in some cases (viscose) starting from natural raw materials, distort their structure and composition, with the risk of releasing dangerous substances acquired during the various processes to which they are subjected
Pillowcase and cushion made from recycled fibers
More and more often, pillowcases and cushions put our bodies in contact with fibres that, for purely marketing reasons, are advertised and produced as being derived from recycled operations with the intention of making them green and sustainable products.
In reality:
- Recent studies and analyses have shown that the recycling activity of textile fibres from textile fibres is limited to 1% of the entire world production of fibres.
- The majority of recycled fibres come from recycled polyester (RPET), the recycling of which is almost entirely achieved through the reuse of water bottles or in some more critical cases, through the production of bottles for the sole purpose of being recycled.
- The recycling process, both mechanical and chemical, causes high levels of pollution, the use of natural energy and sources and, above all, the release of harmful substances due to the further recycling treatments carried out.
Pillowcases and pillows that cause environmental pollution
Many times, pillowcases and cushions, even when they are not in contact with the body, during the most common operations to which they are subjected (such as a normal wash), are capable of releasing a considerable number of plastic microfibres into the environment and into washing wastewater. These microfibres , once they reach aquifers and water basins, can be aggregators of highly toxic elements and enter the food chain , as well as being one of the most dangerous forms of pollution for our ecosystem.
