A current issue
Silk, a symbol of elegance and luxury, is now at the heart of discussions surrounding sustainability and ethical practices. As consumers become increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their choices, the silk industry faces new challenges in reconciling tradition and modernity.
1. Silk and the environment: a mixed picture
Traditional silk production, although natural, raises questions about its ecological footprint.
- Pros : Silk is a biodegradable and sustainable fiber if produced responsibly. Unlike synthetic fibers, it does not emit microplastics and can be recycled or composted.
- Environmental challenges : Sericulture (silkworm farming) requires large quantities of mulberry leaves, and intensive irrigation can be problematic in some areas.
2. Towards a more ethical and ecological silk
New production methods are emerging to meet consumer expectations:
- Peace silk or ethical silk : This technique allows silk to be harvested without killing the worms, waiting for them to leave their cocoons. Although a little more expensive, this method attracts brands concerned with a more environmentally friendly impact.
- Eco-certifications : Some companies commit to reducing their carbon footprint by incorporating sustainable and transparent practices, such as using renewable energy or reforestation.
