Respect for the environment is also in the small details. For example, in the laces that we use in our shoes, in our backpacks or anoraks. Traditional cords are made of synthetic fibers, that is, made with petroleum derivatives. Not only are they polluting in their manufacture, but they take a long time to disappear once we dispose of the object. Therefore, they are not the best option for our environment.

Among the alternatives that we can find when it comes to environmentally friendly cords, we find those that are made of cotton. Being a natural fiber, they are very ecological and also degrade relatively quickly and without leaving residues.

Cotton laces are the best alternative when it comes to sports shoes or clothing items that are designed to last a long time. They are resistant and in addition, if they come into contact with the body or even if they rub against it, they are not aggressive with the skin.

However, laces are also used for other things that have nothing to do with the textile or footwear industry. For example, we use string to tie balloons on birthdays or to wrap cake trays or gift packages. These cords have a very ephemeral use, since when the balloon breaks or the gift is opened, it is thrown away.

A cotton cord is too expensive and has too long a wear-out period in reference to its use. In these cases, the best thing to do is contact a biodegradable cord distributor and get this type of cord that dissolves very quickly.

The biodegradable cords are made of pressed paper. This paper is resistant and perfectly withstands the short uses for which it is intended. But there are even much stronger laces of this type that can be used for footwear and other purposes. They are cords of a higher quality, but totally ecological, which makes them very attractive and the most desirable in products with green labels.

The advantage is that they dissolve quickly and do not leave residues in nature, but, better still, they can be left in the appropriate container and recycled so that they can have a new useful life. Thanks to these cords we can enjoy leisure or decoration activities without this posing a problem for the environment.
