棉花在全球纺织品市场上超过棉花,尽管棉花具有可持续性,但环境问题仍然令人关切。 Polyester overtakes cotton in global textile market, raising environmental concerns despite cotton's sustainability.

全球纺织市场正在从棉花转向聚酯,目前聚酯占纤维产量的57%,而棉花占19.2%。 The global textile market is shifting away from cotton towards polyester, which now makes up 57% of fiber production, up from 19.2% for cotton. 这一变化是由聚酯的可承受性和耐久性驱动的,具有环境的不利因素:聚酯不可生物降解,并造成微塑料污染。 This change, driven by polyester's affordability and durability, has environmental downsides: polyester is non-biodegradable and contributes to microplastic pollution. 尽管棉花具有生物降解性和可更新性,但它在欧盟政策中面临不正确的可持续性排名,突出表明需要准确的标签和消费者意识。 Despite cotton's biodegradability and renewability, it faces a false sustainability ranking in EU policies, highlighting the need for accurate labeling and consumer awareness.
