According to Price “Fabric from corn: Greenfleece or Greenwash”, Cargill Dow announced that they show fabrics called “Natural Works PLA” (Palylactic acid), made from corn. Technology isn’t limited to apparel, but he products are environmentally friendly. PLA can be completely recycled in commercial compost families. The source of this material for products is genetically engineered corn, designed by one of Cargill Dow’s corporate parents. However, they expect not use genetically engineered (GE) products. Cargill Dow has started an industrial revolution based on using renewable materials and using unlimited resources to replace limited ones.
We should use natural resource that is a limitless, “clean” product. Making genetic pollution through generically engineered crop has he potential to be the greatest environmental problem. In order to increase the worldwide production of natural products, we should appeal for an eco-friendly business.
First, natural worker use the natural sugars in corn, an annually renewable crop. In the global warming and many environment issued today, we should take advantage of using limitless products which are free of the taint of pollution and the oil industry next, because the technology isn’t limited to apparel. If we advance to use those products and it is environmentally friendly, PLA can be completely recycled. All this we can have from an engineering process that cut the amount of fossil fuel used.
Second, Cargill Dow should not use genetically engineered crops. Cargill Dow creates new market for products. They started an industrial revolution based on products that are renewable ones and for which there are unlimited resources. Minnesota Cargill is he planet’s largest producer of corn, and also India already controls about 60% of the corn market. However, according to a study, the global market for genetically engineered crop is at $30 billion and it will rise to $90 billion. It is advantage that it produces a large amount of corn and takes a lot of money, but they should take advantage to produces something that is environmentally friendly. It is much better than using gas, fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides.
Last, Cargill Dow should appeal to people more as an eco-friendly business in the world. It is a fact that they made another announcement that they had opened a new $750 million factory; however, these products are creative and attractive at a time when we have a lot of environmental issues today. Also, the clothes are less expensive than other clothes. Cargill Dow included group such as environment organizations, production, and groups that are related to the environment, and should make more advertisements and display samples of their growth worldwide. We should make consumers pay attention to these products telling about issues and their impact.
Fabric from corn has a lot of advantages. Cargill Dow has plans to take advantage of the “green” marketplaces including carpeting, wall panels, upholstery, interior furnishings, outdoor fabrics, as well as plastic like the film around CDs and golf ball sleeves. Using the natural sugars in corn and renewable crops is limitless. Even though it takes massive money and facilities, we should keep producing the product advertising. If people in the world pay attention and take these products and clothes in their daily lives, it will be valuable as an eco-friendly action. These products are creative and attractive at a time when we have a lot of environmental issues today.
