probably be familiar with from
other presentations.

00:04:07.630 --> 00:04:10.892
I am sure you're aware of our
agency mission from previous

7135f0aa-a6ea-46ae-86c0-961840e4d9e8-1

educational purposes only and is

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.202
This webinar regarding textiles
and sustainability is for

04af4903-3b77-40e9-b10d-338492ff0bbf-1

26ddf3ce-dbe8-432f-8741-7cef3b756ebc-0
00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:43.291
Since legislative and
administrative changes are

26ddf3ce-dbe8-432f-8741-7cef3b756ebc-1
00:04:43.291 --> 00:04:46.303
readily occurring, relying
solely on the general

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.440
In most webinars, I use my own
samples, but today you will see

e0c4b6ad-1648-4fa6-85eb-e9ecaa37204c-1
00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:09.160
materials that were taken from
various public domain websites.

2394632a-5c96-404a-aca8-546e9c6c3026-0

00:05:24.090 --> 00:05:27.598
Before we start, I'm just going
to talk shortly about the

2f1918b7-d79b-4077-99c5-027309f257ed-1
00:05:27.598 --> 00:05:29.050
binding rulings program.

3ace8077-1318-452d-bd02-0998fca4e7ee-0
00:05:29.530 --> 00:05:32.625
Basically, this slide states
that there can be many

3ace8077-1318-452d-bd02-0998fca4e7ee-1
00:05:32.625 --> 00:05:36.017
complicated factors when it
applies to classification or

3ace8077-1318-452d-bd02-0998fca4e7ee-2
00:05:36.017 --> 00:05:36.970
customs matters.

d915b7e2-dfa6-4445-b7d8-450808dc8e95-0
00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:40.950
So it is generally in your best
interest to request a binding

d915b7e2-dfa6-4445-b7d8-450808dc8e95-1
00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:44.548
ruling or obtain advice from an
expert that specializes in

d915b7e2-dfa6-4445-b7d8-450808dc8e95-2
00:05:44.548 --> 00:05:48.329
customs matters, like a licensed
customs broker, attorney, or

d915b7e2-dfa6-4445-b7d8-450808dc8e95-3
00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:48.999
consultant.

begin the application process
for a binding ruling.

00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.080

a4d3469d-0e0b-400b-9202-cfd8ec08dc39-0
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.916
The issuance of pre importation
rulings results in trade that is

a4d3469d-0e0b-400b-9202-cfd8ec08dc39-1
00:06:11.916 --> 00:06:14.600
predictable, facilitated and
easily planned.

a7038167-17ed-4aba-8700-e9ccb04c9ce1-0
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.352
Some areas that the NCSD will
issue binding rulings on include

a7038167-17ed-4aba-8700-e9ccb04c9ce1-1

classification, country of
origin, marking, and an

a7038167-17ed-4aba-8700-e9ccb04c9ce1-2
00:06:22.876 --> 00:06:26.400
application of a trade program
or trade agreement.

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:34.697
The ruling request must be for
prospective shipments and is

00:06:34.697 --> 00:06:38.375

offered to the public.

This strategy was an agency wide
strategic framework aimed at

00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.181

00:09:00.273 --> 00:09:04.231
impacts of climate change and
environmental degradation as

7dce1502-31a4-4db2-96a8-a7b46e82cddb-4
00:09:04.231 --> 00:09:05.640
they relate to trade.

00:09:12.291 --> 00:09:17.943
like to read more about how CBP
is taking a proactive approach,

PS Current focus on green trade.

bd44ab12-3334-49e2-84af-7bc8c619ffa3-0
00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:28.925
Today I'm going to be discussing
how textiles play a vital role

bd44ab12-3334-49e2-84af-7bc8c619ffa3-1
00:09:28.925 --> 00:09:32.514
in this mission because there is
an abundance of information

bd44ab12-3334-49e2-84af-7bc8c619ffa3-2
00:09:32.514 --> 00:09:35.280
regarding this topic and I am
limited on time.

aaea7f2d-106c-4217-9e35-9229fcde00a3-0
00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:39.630
My goal today is to provide some
basic guidance on sustainability

aaea7f2d-106c-4217-9e35-9229fcde00a3-1
00:09:39.630 --> 00:09:41.480
and how it relates to fabrics.

4ed4bf4c-d8fe-4cd7-be65-2a48d87e4980-0
00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:46.306
By embracing sustainability and
making conscious choices, we can

4ed4bf4c-d8fe-4cd7-be65-2a48d87e4980-1
00:09:46.306 --> 00:09:48.520
make a positive impact on the
planet.

7f2a3453-b178-4ad7-be35-7f52467000f8-0
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:53.153
If we all make small changes, we
do our part in helping make a

7f2a3453-b178-4ad7-be35-7f52467000f8-1
00:09:53.153 --> 00:09:56.756
positive impact and these
changes provide big results for

7f2a3453-b178-4ad7-be35-7f52467000f8-2
00:09:56.756 --> 00:09:57.440
the planet.

47e5ce5f-52f0-43c1-bec4-a988ca309dd1-0
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.040
We probably have all heard about
the push toward green fashion.

ba4c85ac-f734-4228-8aac-6a6dbfdbcb51-0
00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:11.880
This trend starts by choosing
eco friendly materials.

5bc06ee9-af72-4cd8-910a-4b719cc65818-0
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.560
So let's start with the term
green textiles.

22bb7c29-b399-48c6-b40e-1b6b9fec2669-0
00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:19.283
Green textiles are fabrics or
fibers produced to replace

22bb7c29-b399-48c6-b40e-1b6b9fec2669-1
00:10:19.283 --> 00:10:23.268
environmentally harmful textiles
and minimize the ecological

22bb7c29-b399-48c6-b40e-1b6b9fec2669-2
00:10:23.268 --> 00:10:24.640
impact to our planet.

73d3564a-5556-4eaf-8196-a2977e88d759-0
00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:28.476
This means by choosing
environmentally friendly

73d3564a-5556-4eaf-8196-a2977e88d759-1
00:10:28.476 --> 00:10:31.574
materials and supporting
sustainable practices, we

73d3564a-5556-4eaf-8196-a2977e88d759-2
00:10:31.574 --> 00:10:33.640
contribute to a healthier
planet.

98328f5f-9297-4fa2-828d-05f8e335a503-0
00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:44.730
Since I do handle chapters 50 to
60 and I am discussing fibers

98328f5f-9297-4fa2-828d-05f8e335a503-1
00:10:44.730 --> 00:10:48.700
and fabrics and whether it is
sustainable or not, I would like

98328f5f-9297-4fa2-828d-05f8e335a503-2
00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:52.040
to define what they mean when we
talk about a fiber.

43b5b914-b42f-42de-bcd9-568219db1a60-0
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.703
It is the fundamental unit used
in the fabrication of textile

43b5b914-b42f-42de-bcd9-568219db1a60-1
00:10:56.703 --> 00:11:01.508
yarns and fabric and a fabric is
a cloth that is woven, knitted,

43b5b914-b42f-42de-bcd9-568219db1a60-2
00:11:01.508 --> 00:11:05.795
braided, netted, felted or
pleated with any textile fiber

43b5b914-b42f-42de-bcd9-568219db1a60-3
00:11:05.795 --> 00:11:07.200
or is a bonded web.

d6f2e687-f21c-4f7e-b7a2-336dc3507f45-0
00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:17.500
Green materials in fashion and
design have emerged, leading to

d6f2e687-f21c-4f7e-b7a2-336dc3507f45-1
00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:21.240
sustainable eco conscious trends
in both fabrics and products.

aa330adb-3d0a-438d-9b73-d3da2ab0ea24-0
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.036
While fast fashion has
revolutionized the fasting

aa330adb-3d0a-438d-9b73-d3da2ab0ea24-1
00:11:25.036 --> 00:11:28.653
industry, it has taken a toll on
the environment, workers and

aa330adb-3d0a-438d-9b73-d3da2ab0ea24-2
00:11:28.653 --> 00:11:29.120
animals.

d1d999f3-b6c1-42b0-98a5-bbb4f9f9c170-0
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.456
Fast fashion is a leading cause
of such environmental impacts of

d1d999f3-b6c1-42b0-98a5-bbb4f9f9c170-1
00:11:34.456 --> 00:11:36.880
climate change, pollution and
waste.

4d16d402-81e7-445a-87b8-51c7f07485a1-0
00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:41.367
With that being said, as
consumers we don't necessarily

4d16d402-81e7-445a-87b8-51c7f07485a1-1
00:11:41.367 --> 00:11:44.160
have to buy less, we just have
to buy smarter.

22cfde90-09f8-43fc-af94-5b7fdaeca32a-0
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.640
So what is considered a
sustainable fabric?

d027fd2b-35e5-4674-b9c3-c432c57869e3-0
00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:56.482
A sustainable fabric is one that
comes from eco friendly

d027fd2b-35e5-4674-b9c3-c432c57869e3-1
00:11:56.482 --> 00:12:00.325
resources like sustainably grown
fiber crops or recycled

d027fd2b-35e5-4674-b9c3-c432c57869e3-2
00:12:00.325 --> 00:12:00.999
materials.

b39bd897-6787-4dee-80b1-a7f5371c3bb9-0
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.601
The fabric should be ethically
sourced and have an eco friendly

b39bd897-6787-4dee-80b1-a7f5371c3bb9-1
00:12:05.601 --> 00:12:06.600
production process.

598b32bc-2b58-4561-8941-5f3289af8acd-0
00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:11.192
Examples of sustainable fabrics
include linen, hemp, and organic

598b32bc-2b58-4561-8941-5f3289af8acd-1
00:12:11.192 --> 00:12:11.640
cotton.

31d86e9f-0678-4bf4-af66-10e59419bdde-0
00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:16.030
Sustainable fabrics aim to
reduce harm through the

31d86e9f-0678-4bf4-af66-10e59419bdde-1
00:12:16.030 --> 00:12:19.173
production process, fiber
properties, or overall

31d86e9f-0678-4bf4-af66-10e59419bdde-2
00:12:19.173 --> 00:12:20.520
environmental impact.

bcd78d0b-92b6-49af-8d22-fb404cf932fd-0
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.620
They do not contribute to the
pollution and waste associated

bcd78d0b-92b6-49af-8d22-fb404cf932fd-1
00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.400
with the fast fashion industry.

aa8b0049-4c9f-4dbc-802e-151acb879596-0
00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:37.540
I found this short video at BBC
Earth on sustainability.

4cb69346-c8f5-42dc-aaf8-90bf3666650b-0
00:12:39.740 --> 00:12:43.340
I think it's a great video that
you will find help you will find

4cb69346-c8f5-42dc-aaf8-90bf3666650b-1
00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:44.060
very helpful.

477efab8-aa4f-4126-add2-ddd70368f7de-0
00:12:44.060 --> 00:12:45.220
I'm going to play it now.

740a5294-e4b4-48fc-a68c-441dbcb17ed0-0
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.200
Planet Earth is like no other.

bc786658-959f-49d5-aff5-e8130e7be189-0
00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:00.799
Breathtaking landscapes
exploding with colour, home to

bc786658-959f-49d5-aff5-e8130e7be189-1
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.880
over 8 million species of plants
and animals.

a1a04ee6-4cde-4c5d-bad6-ce9d770d890e-0
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.640
This planet sustains us and
every creature we share it with.

08bae9dd-194d-4200-a000-458183d1d505-0
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.800
But more than that, it inspires
us.

822845d2-792a-4eac-85b3-9fc80090c6ec-0
00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:23.371
Exquisite species overload our
senses with their vibrant

822845d2-792a-4eac-85b3-9fc80090c6ec-1
00:13:23.371 --> 00:13:26.880
shades, patterns, and textures.

35e7a88e-83e5-470f-95c5-8ca9c02d48af-0
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.382
Up to now, many of us have taken
it for granted, But it's not too

35e7a88e-83e5-470f-95c5-8ca9c02d48af-1
00:13:33.382 --> 00:13:36.800

our creativity.

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:43.223
This planet is suffocating
because of our increasing desire

c877fe3e-dc8a-48dd-8274-684225896135-1
00:13:43.223 --> 00:13:48.079
for fast fashion, and most of
the industry still supports

c877fe3e-dc8a-48dd-8274-684225896135-2
00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:52.600
this, making it one of the
world's biggest polluters.

f1c07da9-9128-4dbb-8d2b-bc7e96ded615-0
00:13:55.480 --> 00:14:00.951
Our hunger for fast fashion is
pushing species to the brink of

f1c07da9-9128-4dbb-8d2b-bc7e96ded615-1
00:14:00.951 --> 00:14:05.902
extinction, destroying the
habitats that provide us with

f1c07da9-9128-4dbb-8d2b-bc7e96ded615-2
00:14:05.902 --> 00:14:11.200
clean air and polluting the
rivers that give us fresh water.

fb3ca619-9de1-49ee-89c6-b7f19926924b-0
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:20.057
Each year, over 100 billion
items of clothing are produced

fb3ca619-9de1-49ee-89c6-b7f19926924b-1
00:14:20.057 --> 00:14:25.555
globally using thousands of
different chemicals, yet three

fb3ca619-9de1-49ee-89c6-b7f19926924b-2
00:14:25.555 --> 00:14:30.680
out of five items end up in
landfill within 12 months.

c1cd323e-f05e-4840-a1f7-ccbfa485986f-0
00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:40.932
We all need a healthy planet not
only to survive but also to

c1cd323e-f05e-4840-a1f7-ccbfa485986f-1
00:14:40.932 --> 00:14:45.560
inspire the creativity that
drives fashion and design.

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.160
And there is hope.

1da9c82c-bec5-4cb8-8aae-2338103b8cc1-0
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.880
Nature's power of regeneration
is remarkable.

470215cd-d880-43d2-ae55-b6517fba1065-0
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.120
The choice lies with us.

cfd41c0c-ceee-45ec-b115-43738368925c-0
00:14:55.280 --> 00:15:00.110
Every time we invest in an item
of clothing, we can consider

cfd41c0c-ceee-45ec-b115-43738368925c-1
00:15:00.110 --> 00:15:03.040
every purchase and love our
choices.

00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:07.080
We can buy quality and consume
less.

e1ba0635-83ae-4a23-b466-0b51fe90c92f-0
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:14.760
We can recycle and repurpose
together.

803d890a-ab5c-4ed7-be65-5c5d1f3bdc8a-0
00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:22.379
We can change our attitude
towards fast fashion,

803d890a-ab5c-4ed7-be65-5c5d1f3bdc8a-1
00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:28.600
sustainable, clean, considered
fashion.

00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:43.640
I thought that was interesting
video.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.400
I really love the images.

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.200
I watched it like 100 Times Now.

me know in the chat.

00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:03.882
OK, so when we think about eco
friendly fabrics, those fabrics

092893f3-d194-4a6d-906e-5bc43ef15820-1
00:16:03.882 --> 00:16:07.120
are derived from natural and
sustainable resources.

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:11.800
These fabrics provide the least
amount of negative impact to our

1f13e1df-3adc-430c-8ea9-4f5935c993c4-1
00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:15.649
environment by using none or the
least amount of toxic and

1f13e1df-3adc-430c-8ea9-4f5935c993c4-2
00:16:15.649 --> 00:16:18.520
inorganic chemicals such as
synthetic dyes.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.600
When we think about natural
fibers, we think nature.

a733b2c5-87bf-4c3d-aae6-4f03402772ba-0
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.711
These fabrics, made from energy
efficient and sustainably grown

a733b2c5-87bf-4c3d-aae6-4f03402772ba-1
00:16:36.711 --> 00:16:40.943
crops without pesticides leave a
far lower eco footprint on the

a733b2c5-87bf-4c3d-aae6-4f03402772ba-2
00:16:40.943 --> 00:16:43.720
planet than other commonly used
textiles.

e185c1e5-afd3-446b-9899-fdeecc0079d6-0
00:16:44.760 --> 00:16:48.335
Man made fibers, especially
polyester and nylon, which are

e185c1e5-afd3-446b-9899-fdeecc0079d6-1
00:16:48.335 --> 00:16:51.668
used extensively in fashion
because they are cheap and

e185c1e5-afd3-446b-9899-fdeecc0079d6-2
00:16:51.668 --> 00:16:54.879
durable, are extremely hazardous
to the environment.

00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:59.120
These fibers are non
biodegradable and unsustainable.

36e4d74a-5710-4a2e-a7c1-5994de96836d-0
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.552
Polyester can take up to 200
years to break down if it ends

36e4d74a-5710-4a2e-a7c1-5994de96836d-1
00:17:03.552 --> 00:17:06.810
up in a landfill and the
production of nylon emits

36e4d74a-5710-4a2e-a7c1-5994de96836d-2
00:17:06.810 --> 00:17:10.579
nitrous oxide, which is a
greenhouse gas that triggers the

36e4d74a-5710-4a2e-a7c1-5994de96836d-3
00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:12.559
destruction of the ozone layer.

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.772
Environmentally friendly fabrics
cover an expansive definition,

29456305-0bd5-40de-8312-fd232e1f8f0b-1
00:17:22.772 --> 00:17:26.040
which makes it difficult to pin
down their meaning precisely.

9afff9a3-d1c2-44de-8095-0a3673ec1e00-0
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.829
They are generally considered
low carbon and energy saving

9afff9a3-d1c2-44de-8095-0a3673ec1e00-1
00:17:30.829 --> 00:17:34.846
fabrics, natural and free of
harmful substances, as well as

9afff9a3-d1c2-44de-8095-0a3673ec1e00-2
00:17:34.846 --> 00:17:36.520
being recyclable fabrics.

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.036
Some examples of these natural
sustainable fibers are organic

63c57ad5-46cb-434b-bd8e-f7c72d3b6f7d-1
00:17:43.036 --> 00:17:45.120
cotton, linen, bamboo, and hemp.

00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:53.244
On this slide, I have the
chapters for the woven fabrics

14848e83-1000-44aa-a8fc-49538df54734-1
00:17:53.244 --> 00:17:54.440
made of natural fibers.

82239e05-f691-44f5-bc23-071977736cd3-0
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.120
They include chapters 50 to 53.

c1c6a125-be25-478e-a7af-de2779007856-0
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.404
Many people want to incorporate
environmentally friendly

c1c6a125-be25-478e-a7af-de2779007856-1
00:18:01.404 --> 00:18:03.640
textiles and fabrics in their
homes.

00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.705
Opting for natural fibers would
be the first step when it comes

4ffead78-8679-4493-a718-223b1d5b724a-1
00:18:07.705 --> 00:18:09.520
to looking for sustainable
fabrics.

f6e430d6-8cb2-4561-a65c-59b8c84c2c15-0
00:18:10.560 --> 00:18:15.302
In chapter 50, you will find the
silk fabrics, Chapter 51 is wool

f6e430d6-8cb2-4561-a65c-59b8c84c2c15-1
00:18:15.302 --> 00:18:18.320
and that is a fine or coarse
animal hair.

00:18:18.800 --> 00:18:23.570
In chapter 52 we have cotton and
in chapter 53 are the other

67796abe-d20c-4bce-8c76-f74815cfc41d-1
00:18:23.570 --> 00:18:27.480
vegetable fibers like flax,
hemp, jute and rainy.

8c623ac8-0395-43f0-bf65-bbb279848498-0
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.201
While sustainability is a hot
topic, I do not get many ruling

8c623ac8-0395-43f0-bf65-bbb279848498-1
00:18:32.201 --> 00:18:34.360
requests that contain natural
fibers.

19ae1d98-42d2-414c-937d-4aeffb231f7c-0
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.141
So I do not have many fabrics
featured in today's presentation

19ae1d98-42d2-414c-937d-4aeffb231f7c-1
00:18:38.141 --> 00:18:38.960
for you to view.

07578ccf-b6fa-424a-8ca3-befda76762e8-0
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.440
I don't want you to think that
upholstery fabrics aren't worth

07578ccf-b6fa-424a-8ca3-befda76762e8-1
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.440
it in natural fibers.

c0c034f8-846e-48dc-972f-d416e0fa9116-0
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.320
They are and many people prefer
them over man made.

110e3442-c0d6-40a7-84cc-7c5238043241-0
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.231
Natural fibers have great
properties and you will find

110e3442-c0d6-40a7-84cc-7c5238043241-1
00:18:52.231 --> 00:18:55.843
many beautiful patterns and
styles, but you may not find as

110e3442-c0d6-40a7-84cc-7c5238043241-2
00:18:55.843 --> 00:18:59.575
many varieties offered and they
be they may be more expensive

110e3442-c0d6-40a7-84cc-7c5238043241-3
00:18:59.575 --> 00:19:00.960
than man made versions.

0caf4a96-a85e-4aaa-89af-43cf79334cce-0
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.600
Today I will be talking about
the plant fibers.

33797745-78dd-4a83-8acc-53dd17842f84-0
00:19:10.520 --> 00:19:13.720
In Chapter 52, we have the woven
cotton fabrics.

c0c0bb33-bed8-4e04-bb50-2066b233ce5d-0
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.130
Cotton is a natural fiber, and
because of that, it is 100%

c0c0bb33-bed8-4e04-bb50-2066b233ce5d-1
00:19:18.130 --> 00:19:19.120
biodegradable.

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.689
Cotton is made from the fiber
surrounding the seeds of cotton

a0d7aada-c1e3-4c57-b37a-3a1fc1476a88-1
00:19:23.689 --> 00:19:27.684
plants, which emerge in a round,
fluffy formation once the seeds

a0d7aada-c1e3-4c57-b37a-3a1fc1476a88-2
00:19:27.684 --> 00:19:28.360
are mature.

bd6466a6-e568-4fbc-ae09-e46100d67b46-0
00:19:29.080 --> 00:19:32.576
It is the most versatile and
popular fabric, coming in a

bd6466a6-e568-4fbc-ae09-e46100d67b46-1
00:19:32.576 --> 00:19:33.680
variety of weaves.

23961dfc-2fe4-47ae-802c-f4d9ce90a5e3-0
00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:39.031
As a natural fiber, cotton is a
strong fiber and provides good

23961dfc-2fe4-47ae-802c-f4d9ce90a5e3-1
00:19:39.031 --> 00:19:41.760
resistance to wear, fading, and
Pilling.

5b8cd0a8-b1d5-4c65-9f9c-ff9aefe952eb-0
00:19:42.040 --> 00:19:45.704
It is also easy to clean and
breathable, so it is a good

5b8cd0a8-b1d5-4c65-9f9c-ff9aefe952eb-1
00:19:45.704 --> 00:19:47.440
choice for warmer climates.

1a2eb22e-bffe-49fa-9611-98f63bfc7347-0
00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:51.374
That property makes it a good
choice for clothing and

1a2eb22e-bffe-49fa-9611-98f63bfc7347-1
00:19:51.374 --> 00:19:54.812
upholstery because it allows
heat and moisture to move away

1a2eb22e-bffe-49fa-9611-98f63bfc7347-2
00:19:54.812 --> 00:19:56.360
or Wick away from the skin.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.960
Cotton is known as the most
popular material in the world.

eed8880e-335d-4eae-a9fb-6afdcb97f0be-0
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.000
It is also known as the fabric
of our lives.

00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:14.942
This slogan, which has a swung
attached to it, may bring back

03da3533-49b1-4169-b2db-78006e8a518d-1
00:20:14.942 --> 00:20:16.560
some memories for some of you.

2e2bcceb-7958-4f21-9d46-d02294f3123f-0
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.320
That commercial aired in 1992.

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.000
There were different versions,
but that one was the original.

d9e7cfb5-faf9-4c9e-ad8e-43eb2fded5c7-0
00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:15.057
I don't know if I remember the
commercial, but I definitely

d9e7cfb5-faf9-4c9e-ad8e-43eb2fded5c7-1
00:21:15.057 --> 00:21:16.000
remember the swung.

f151094f-1ae9-4602-8980-163b1d212635-0
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.280
If anybody remembers the
commercial, they can.

a67d9608-67db-45a4-9c5b-ad3d2c2862b0-0
00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:19.640
They can type it in the chat.

6c75c9b6-4cb1-4159-932c-3a1df2a4e252-0
00:21:26.030 --> 00:21:27.950
I saw somebody said they
remembered it.

283d4a16-932e-47f2-a927-48196baab069-0
00:21:34.310 --> 00:21:36.310
A few people did so, so that's
good.

72d59ade-c248-4c8a-9d03-3e3647e7a1fd-0
00:21:39.560 --> 00:21:42.717
While both conventional cotton
and organic cotton or

00:21:42.717 --> 00:21:46.053
biodegradable, conventional
cotton requires substantial

72d59ade-c248-4c8a-9d03-3e3647e7a1fd-2
00:21:46.053 --> 00:21:47.960
amounts of water and irrigation.

00:21:49.040 --> 00:21:53.206
Cultivation of conventional
cotton also accounts for 25% of

00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.870
sourced from already existent
cotton, which means that it

00:22:59.870 --> 00:23:03.160
helps keep waste down and has
minimal impact on the

00:23:50.080 --> 00:23:54.284
This process involves collecting
and sorting waste, breaking it

23772e49-5916-4442-954f-7ca3ad3a878e-1
00:23:54.284 --> 00:23:58.554
down into small fibers and then
re spinning them into new cotton

23772e49-5916-4442-954f-7ca3ad3a878e-2
00:23:58.554 --> 00:24:00.920
yarns that can be used for

00:24:02.040 --> 00:24:05.929
Recycled cotton is primarily
made from pre consumer cotton,

37f91ac9-c4e0-437b-b916-5df04beea29c-1
00:24:05.929 --> 00:24:09.560
which is excess textile waste
from clothing production.

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.876
It is not usually from post
consumer cotton, which is

62af0812-379d-44f1-9f9d-156b20b6e4e1-1
00:24:13.876 --> 00:24:16.600
discarded textile waste from
consumers.

09f88082-99ad-4eae-85bb-c5c00bf1c6c7-0
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.621
Like second hand clothing, part
of the recycling process

09f88082-99ad-4eae-85bb-c5c00bf1c6c7-1
00:24:20.621 --> 00:24:24.533
includes assessing the quality
of cotton fibers through

09f88082-99ad-4eae-85bb-c5c00bf1c6c7-2
00:24:24.533 --> 00:24:28.444
systematic collection, manually
sweating materials, and

09f88082-99ad-4eae-85bb-c5c00bf1c6c7-3
00:24:28.444 --> 00:24:32.496
undergoing a mechanical or
chemical process to break down

09f88082-99ad-4eae-85bb-c5c00bf1c6c7-4
00:24:32.496 --> 00:24:35.360
the textile fabric into reusable
fibers.

00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:40.271
During the mechanical process,
the fabrics are torn into

6cbac99b-b068-442d-b0f3-4a02d42602c7-1
00:24:40.271 --> 00:24:44.155
individual fibers through a
machine, while in the chemical

00:24:44.155 --> 00:24:47.906
process, the fabrics chemical
properties are broken down

6cbac99b-b068-442d-b0f3-4a02d42602c7-3
00:24:47.906 --> 00:24:51.921
through a chemical reaction
process, such as the same as the

6cbac99b-b068-442d-b0f3-4a02d42602c7-4
00:24:51.921 --> 00:24:56.200
Lys cell process which dissolves
in a solution of ionic liquids.

00:24:56.840 --> 00:25:00.507
The mechanical process is the
primary way to recycle textiles

62001a21-9b0b-4699-9fcf-c2c33d3507b3-1
00:25:00.507 --> 00:25:03.760
because the chemical process is
not commercially used.

c2c35512-4c01-4f10-a386-a0debd109ca3-0
00:25:08.760 --> 00:25:12.400
I found a short video on cotton
recycling.

00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:17.827
I think it really helps to see
how it's done in order to

34d173b3-bb8a-4f31-bbf5-79471b32a11d-1
00:25:17.827 --> 00:25:18.920
understand the process.

7825f641-2ea0-4d21-8c5a-17e7fe78e33b-0
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.960
I'm going to play it now.

d0b3adde-316d-450c-aa2c-2ff64f8a1fe8-0
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:51.960
Music.

00:27:37.730 --> 00:27:39.290
I thought that was a great
video.

042717c3-fd7f-467c-8957-65758ccec404-0
00:27:39.730 --> 00:27:43.370
I saw a few people's liked it in
the chat and everything.

d32475c2-29bc-4d9b-9ffd-da0623283df0-0
00:27:43.450 --> 00:27:47.954
I really thought that the yarn
was going to be like mild in

d32475c2-29bc-4d9b-9ffd-da0623283df0-1
00:27:47.954 --> 00:27:52.458
color, but it turned out to be
black, so I thought that was

d32475c2-29bc-4d9b-9ffd-da0623283df0-2
00:27:52.458 --> 00:27:53.809
really surprising.

715ecb25-c538-4421-a0e3-12718befc1a0-0
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.621
While recycling does reduce
waste by promoting textile

715ecb25-c538-4421-a0e3-12718befc1a0-1
00:28:02.621 --> 00:28:06.572
circularity, there are also
negative aspects to be aware of

715ecb25-c538-4421-a0e3-12718befc1a0-2
00:28:06.572 --> 00:28:07.560
with recycling.

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:12.285
With any amount of recycled
product, there will be an impact

926e728a-d52b-455c-ab50-acc0a57c3b03-1
00:28:12.285 --> 00:28:15.245
on the yarn and fabric
properties, which include

926e728a-d52b-455c-ab50-acc0a57c3b03-2
00:28:15.245 --> 00:28:17.360
evenness, strength and
uniformity.

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.878
Recycled drawn costs is
generally higher than standard

9ec1750c-3483-457f-944c-34df6e2ee170-1
00:28:21.878 --> 00:28:25.400
cotton yarn costs and could
possibly be cost prohibited.

b62d0992-5547-4d72-ab81-e7c062ccd2e4-0
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.965
Recycled cotton fabric is more
expensive than conventionally

b62d0992-5547-4d72-ab81-e7c062ccd2e4-1
00:28:29.965 --> 00:28:33.873
produced cotton due to limited
availability and high production

b62d0992-5547-4d72-ab81-e7c062ccd2e4-2
00:28:33.873 --> 00:28:34.239
costs.

e72849e1-fdfc-493b-bd4a-a636cd722d36-0
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.936
However, using the material can
result in cost savings in the

e72849e1-fdfc-493b-bd4a-a636cd722d36-1
00:28:38.936 --> 00:28:39.520
long run.

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-0
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:44.245
By reducing environmental impact
and minimizing textile waste,

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-1
00:28:44.245 --> 00:28:48.680
recycling cotton not only helps
minimize the waste of resources

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-2
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.115
and prevents more fashion waste
from ending up in the landfill,

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-3
00:28:53.115 --> 00:28:57.481
but another positive aspect is
that the amount of water needed

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-4
00:28:57.481 --> 00:29:01.292
to produce recycled cotton
fabric is far less than the

590471d7-7999-4252-ab43-3a532c14097c-5
00:29:01.292 --> 00:29:05.519
amount used to grow and generate
conventional cotton fabric.

00:29:12.230 --> 00:29:15.576
There will always be pros and
cons to everything, and nothing

c6e6dd9b-cdd4-48aa-942c-92584e8a595a-1
00:29:15.576 --> 00:29:18.544
is a perfect solution, but
recycled cotton is a better

c6e6dd9b-cdd4-48aa-942c-92584e8a595a-2
00:29:18.544 --> 00:29:19.030
solution.

00:29:46.040 --> 00:29:48.720
I did want to include some of my
fabrics for you to see today.

ca816c54-ea82-4bdd-aecf-5dde8c325745-0
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.525
Out of all the plant fibers,
cotton is the most common for

00:29:53.800 --> 00:29:57.629
This is going to be used for
upholstery and it is common to

c7186e37-7a2e-4876-9e80-5a7ce89c3632-1
00:29:57.629 --> 00:29:59.480
mix cotton with other fibers.

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.500
This woven fabric is made of 70%
cotton and is mixed with 30%

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.914
This fabric also has a printed
design and for upholstery

226f5108-6913-445d-9ebd-3e4aebbe4293-1
00:30:10.914 --> 00:30:14.263
fabrics, you typically see
printed designs used on natural

226f5108-6913-445d-9ebd-3e4aebbe4293-2
00:30:14.263 --> 00:30:16.760
fabrics because they absorb the
color well.

c844d940-495f-47b4-8d8b-e57a19db2a11-0
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.576
It is also common to see a back
coating applied to the reverse

c844d940-495f-47b4-8d8b-e57a19db2a11-1
00:30:23.576 --> 00:30:26.943
side of the fabric to increase
the durability or wearable

00:30:26.943 --> 00:30:27.640
wearability.

abdc9eb5-cada-4a1d-932f-c3a504a4f816-0
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.758
However, as you can see in the
picture, this fabric does not

abdc9eb5-cada-4a1d-932f-c3a504a4f816-1
00:30:30.758 --> 00:30:33.520
have a coating applied to the
backside of the fabric.

00:30:34.800 --> 00:30:38.937
I did put the specifications on
the screen, but cotton fabric is

9616c40a-2b50-4297-add3-436b6ddd6cca-1
00:30:38.937 --> 00:30:42.120
tricky to classify because this
is a plain weave.

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.760
So you need to know the number
of ends and picks and the

4bf3f240-a01c-4852-b2c9-f7610fc81f1e-1
00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:47.360
average on number to classify.

00:31:00.670 --> 00:31:02.950
On this slide, I have another
fabric sample.

c345f3af-6c28-4dea-b396-4e70ce26388f-0
00:31:03.910 --> 00:31:06.990
This fabric is also going to be
used for upholstery.

b5af77df-12e0-449e-9bf3-29bd2bb08c14-0
00:31:07.670 --> 00:31:11.112
This fabric was sent to the lab
for analysis and this happens

b5af77df-12e0-449e-9bf3-29bd2bb08c14-1
00:31:11.112 --> 00:31:14.277
often if we need additional
information to determine the

b5af77df-12e0-449e-9bf3-29bd2bb08c14-2
00:31:14.277 --> 00:31:15.110
classification.

f99ff2a1-2d0b-4374-b1b3-c08a528a0cf0-0
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.172
Since we are not able to
determine the weave, we sent

f99ff2a1-2d0b-4374-b1b3-c08a528a0cf0-1
00:31:19.172 --> 00:31:20.320
this fabric to the lab.

34a3a41c-098a-4342-92fb-6ea5276f1ba3-0
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.896
This printed fabric is made of
81.9% cotton and is mixed with

34a3a41c-098a-4342-92fb-6ea5276f1ba3-1
00:31:26.896 --> 00:31:27.960
18.1% linen.

00:31:29.040 --> 00:31:32.312
The fabric also has an acrylic
coating applied to the reverse

2207aebd-5f3a-4047-a001-3b60b9127ff7-1
00:31:32.312 --> 00:31:35.426
side of the fabric, but as you
can see in the picture, the

2207aebd-5f3a-4047-a001-3b60b9127ff7-2
00:31:35.426 --> 00:31:36.640
coating is not visible.

00:31:37.600 --> 00:31:40.309
Since the coating is not
visible, the fabric is

3b6ed4b5-c301-4cf4-9f6f-f68d105784c8-1
00:31:40.309 --> 00:31:41.720
classified in Chapter 52.

bb9131ce-cd3e-41dc-ae12-7a834a353b90-0
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.732
For this fabric, we did not need
the number of ends and picks and

bb9131ce-cd3e-41dc-ae12-7a834a353b90-1
00:31:45.732 --> 00:31:49.380
the average yarn number to
classify because it was found to

bb9131ce-cd3e-41dc-ae12-7a834a353b90-2
00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:53.089
be another type of weave, which
means that it is not a plain

bb9131ce-cd3e-41dc-ae12-7a834a353b90-3
00:31:53.089 --> 00:31:55.400
satin, jacquard, Dhabi or duck
weave.

00:32:09.850 --> 00:32:12.290
OK, so I'm going to move on to
Chapter 53.

cd4075b9-a1e8-4413-a596-dc6ce70a8a75-0
00:32:13.130 --> 00:32:17.199
In Chapter 53, we have the woven
fabrics of other vegetable

00:32:27.038 --> 00:32:27.400
plants.

00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.637
In the structural element of a
plant cell, the strength of the

5f15b1a3-7d4d-49af-8ec5-163bd77916ea-1
00:32:31.637 --> 00:32:35.075
fibers will come from the stems,
branches, or roots, while the

00:32:35.075 --> 00:32:38.458
softness of the fibers will come
from the leaves, flowers, or

5f15b1a3-7d4d-49af-8ec5-163bd77916ea-3
00:32:38.458 --> 00:32:38.840
fruits.

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:44.045
For the many fashion and textile
companies taking an

00:32:44.045 --> 00:32:47.370
environmentally conscious
stance, plant fibers offer

9427e2b5-327f-4103-863c-959677a335bf-2
00:32:47.370 --> 00:32:51.197
distinct advantages to synthetic
fibers, including their non

9427e2b5-327f-4103-863c-959677a335bf-3
00:32:51.197 --> 00:32:54.898
corrosive nature, their high
strength to weight, and their

9427e2b5-327f-4103-863c-959677a335bf-4
00:32:54.898 --> 00:32:55.839
sustainability.

00:32:56.800 --> 00:32:59.880
For this reason, plant fibers
are becoming increasingly

4319d55d-5c10-470f-bbb2-22a15517629d-1
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:02.960
popular as a source for clothing
and textile companies.

27cd23a9-3534-4f9f-ac9f-c5a9bed55bae-0
00:33:09.800 --> 00:33:10.920
I'll start with linen.

6d37d667-0673-4365-8ce2-660b62459024-0
00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:14.918
Linen is one of the oldest and
most eco friendly fabrics

6d37d667-0673-4365-8ce2-660b62459024-1
00:33:14.918 --> 00:33:15.360
around.

00:33:16.040 --> 00:33:19.120
The fabric was known to be made
by the ancient Egyptians.

0448b63f-2e92-42fb-8f31-d5f624c201cc-0
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:25.958
It is derived from the flax
plant and the word linen comes

0448b63f-2e92-42fb-8f31-d5f624c201cc-1
00:33:25.958 --> 00:33:30.480
from the Latin name for flax,
known as linen.

47a09c35-eef6-4357-8331-2ea0da44ffc3-0
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:36.735
Eucitasium Linen is a
sustainable fabric because it is

47a09c35-eef6-4357-8331-2ea0da44ffc3-1
00:33:36.735 --> 00:33:43.385
biodegradable and grows without
synthetic aids, making it a

47a09c35-eef6-4357-8331-2ea0da44ffc3-2
00:33:43.385 --> 00:33:46.600
renewable and organic fabric.

dc9b1033-6abf-4fcc-8162-530282c0d9f5-0
00:33:47.280 --> 00:33:51.574
Flax plants require a little
water and fertilizer to thrive

dc9b1033-6abf-4fcc-8162-530282c0d9f5-1
00:33:51.574 --> 00:33:55.440
and can even grow in poor
quality soil after harvest.

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.449
The flax fibrous can be readily
used to create various products

101734da-aed3-4d38-9c34-328e9f69b2c6-1
00:33:59.449 --> 00:34:02.520
or process into yarns for
textiles and clothing.

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.240
So how was linen fabric made?

a2a4a945-974b-4065-bccf-a05f71d0bea4-0
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:15.880
Let's take a look at how linen
is made.

11bfd3ba-651b-4968-a524-1de414bb491d-0
00:34:15.880 --> 00:36:54.860
I found the short video the I
thought that was a great video.

fdf27470-b58d-438a-9992-d85913aea539-0
00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:59.293
I'm sorry if I'm having like an
issue with the videos trying to

fdf27470-b58d-438a-9992-d85913aea539-1
00:36:59.293 --> 00:36:59.980
play them.

8d2877df-c829-46b8-8607-61ebf9c6a7fe-0
00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:03.860
I hope that you're you're
enjoying them though.

faccba9b-6c65-499d-9b82-1ec13625cc59-0
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.640
I see a lot of responses so I
think people do like the videos.

9da7bb4e-ccc9-4acc-bce1-9564bbc6f2a6-0
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.480
So linen fabric as a natural
fiber?

564aac94-c866-453c-a46c-79bc94a8bd6e-0
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:20.050
Linen has extremely strong
fibers and can be weaved into a

564aac94-c866-453c-a46c-79bc94a8bd6e-1
00:37:20.050 --> 00:37:21.200
lightweight fabric.

8a9a36da-bc7e-4cd2-b7f1-9f679772c24e-0
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:24.600
You will typically find linen in
its natural state.

710faac1-2f50-4477-8428-ba9710b674f4-0
00:37:25.080 --> 00:37:28.926
Linen left untreated will
include the colors ivory,

00:37:28.926 --> 00:37:30.480
accrue, tan and Gray.

c3230bc5-2d6e-4115-a53c-cd0ffaf5c6f6-0
00:37:38.200 --> 00:37:41.269
Here we have a dyed fabric
sample and fabrics in the

00:37:41.269 --> 00:37:42.080
natural state.

c707b5d9-64fa-4319-a4e7-6c36d1eca703-0
00:37:42.200 --> 00:37:46.090
When linen is untreated with
synthetic dyes or inorganic

c707b5d9-64fa-4319-a4e7-6c36d1eca703-1
00:37:46.090 --> 00:37:49.640
chemicals, it is 100%
biodegradable and recyclable.

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:54.018
However, as with any natural
material, you should be careful

ec350fe4-4584-4a7d-a94b-f3e2658f741c-1
00:37:54.018 --> 00:37:58.251
about how the fabric might have
been treated, particularly the

ec350fe4-4584-4a7d-a94b-f3e2658f741c-2
00:37:58.251 --> 00:38:01.946
environmental impact of some
dyes which compromise its

00:38:01.946 --> 00:38:05.440
biodegradability and
recyclability or renewability.

00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:14.665
We typically see linen clothes
in the summer or warmer

71b84799-e7a9-4892-bc44-e1a306df5303-1
00:38:14.665 --> 00:38:15.200
climates.

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.758
It is a stylish clothing option
and a timeless summer staple for

377cdb5a-1a5c-4f43-9124-88ba800934d0-1
00:38:19.758 --> 00:38:22.560
many people for for its
absorbent properties.

c3f03bdd-ef9f-4758-85da-e45fb707f8f4-0
00:38:23.240 --> 00:38:26.225
The lightweight fabric is
perfect for the hot, humid

c3f03bdd-ef9f-4758-85da-e45fb707f8f4-1
00:38:26.225 --> 00:38:29.605
weather during the summer months
because it is a breathable

c3f03bdd-ef9f-4758-85da-e45fb707f8f4-2
00:38:29.605 --> 00:38:30.000

b66664a8-e38d-4fe1-9fb3-c10deb6ca6eb-0
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.013
Linen's hollow fibers enable air
to pass easily, which keeps you

b66664a8-e38d-4fe1-9fb3-c10deb6ca6eb-1
00:38:35.013 --> 00:38:38.568
looking fresh and cool,
especially when the temperatures

1aaddd8e-dc14-4137-9cf4-ba6f6ce19aa8-0
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.775
The bad thing about linen is
that it easily wrinkles, so you

1aaddd8e-dc14-4137-9cf4-ba6f6ce19aa8-1
00:38:43.775 --> 00:38:47.716
may opt to wear it for a more
casual environment than a formal

8afa9f69-5efa-4602-ab09-c5a783a0b2f4-0
00:38:55.330 --> 00:38:58.572
Linen is a comfortable fabric,
so it is naturally a smart

8afa9f69-5efa-4602-ab09-c5a783a0b2f4-1
00:38:58.572 --> 00:39:00.250
choice for upholstery fabrics.

00:39:00.890 --> 00:39:05.145
As a textile, linen is strong,
quick to dry, and naturally moth

0467ad04-adf2-4c56-a947-9298fb3736b6-1
00:39:05.145 --> 00:39:05.810

00:39:06.370 --> 00:39:10.965
It also resists Pilling and
soiling since it does wrinkle

40057a20-1fc8-4005-bed4-42d2b7642175-1
00:39:10.965 --> 00:39:11.520

00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:14.747
When linen is used for
upholstery, it is common to see

53168dc6-0ea5-4568-bae9-c21e683e5911-1
00:39:14.747 --> 00:39:18.237
some type of coating, such as
acrylic, applied to the fabric

53168dc6-0ea5-4568-bae9-c21e683e5911-2
00:39:18.237 --> 00:39:20.240
to decrease or eliminate
wrinkles.

cd3c8b0b-c3a9-455d-9b0b-dd2213fdf5fe-0
00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:24.280
This also helps to increase its
durability or wearability.

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.733
Again, it is common to see a
back coating applied to fabrics

0f71ce34-5710-4b44-b194-a81532fea8bf-1
00:40:04.733 --> 00:40:06.280

00:40:10.078 --> 00:40:13.271
of the fabric, but as you can
see in the picture, the coating

ca9a5ffb-3108-4bcf-ac4b-3d97044d97f7-2
00:40:13.271 --> 00:40:14.920

00:40:23.680 --> 00:40:27.072
In this example, we also needed
the width of the fabric to

00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.640
Again, it is come to see a print
design on a natural fabric.

410a2710-623c-4bf3-a48e-8e36f70fbe97-0
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.632
As you can see in the picture,
this fabric does not have a

410a2710-623c-4bf3-a48e-8e36f70fbe97-1
00:41:18.632 --> 00:41:20.920
coating applied to the backside
of the fabric.

00:41:21.200 --> 00:41:24.761
If it did have a coating and it
was not visible, it would still

92fabe79-e6c9-4c73-9fcb-74f65abb9bbd-0
00:41:34.120 --> 00:41:38.701
This ruling is also in cross and
can be viewed by searching the

Now we have Jude.

498bdf76-ec25-4f37-af41-55e410fe9121-0
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.720
Jude is a natural fiber derived
from the Jude plant.

1e3d973b-ab6d-480d-9e81-285af7aa2c0d-0
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:56.510
Jude is a plant based fiber that
is extracted from the bark of

1e3d973b-ab6d-480d-9e81-285af7aa2c0d-1
00:41:56.510 --> 00:41:57.880
the white Jude plant.

06c79512-235e-4ddc-8acc-cfc140bfc183-0
00:41:58.680 --> 00:42:02.543
Since the fibers are known to
have a golden and silky shine,

06c79512-235e-4ddc-8acc-cfc140bfc183-1
00:42:02.543 --> 00:42:05.520
it is known to many as the
golden fiber plant.

733aecb8-aaa3-46cf-8db5-2a9d3cb57f7a-0
00:42:06.520 --> 00:42:09.969
As a natural substance that can
grow with minimal amounts of

00:42:15.762 --> 00:42:19.520
which means it is produced with
less energy and resources.

97e4b4cc-31ab-468e-91d1-b3199615ff0a-0
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:25.168
Jute grows in tropical and
subtropical climates and yields

97e4b4cc-31ab-468e-91d1-b3199615ff0a-1
00:42:25.168 --> 00:42:29.590
an annual crop taking 120 days
to grow anywhere from April to

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.997
Because of the natural fertile
soil, about 85% of Jude

15552f99-8304-4b29-bd8b-88653a790029-1
00:42:56.997 --> 00:43:01.026

00:43:16.050 --> 00:43:20.106
I thought you might want to see
how jute is processed, so I

4a9a1325-3e3a-41d4-a433-271734a106bb-1
00:43:20.106 --> 00:43:20.850
found that.

00:43:20.850 --> 00:43:22.450
I found a short video on it.

00:43:22.850 --> 00:45:08.618
I'm going to play it music the I
thought that was an interesting

00:45:08.618 --> 00:45:31.400
video as well.

808fc5ae-0cfc-4ee8-b5a7-6af96673dde1-0
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.680
If you want to let me know in
the chat if you liked it, you

00:45:38.680 --> 00:45:39.280

bbd489ab-88b6-4d31-ac99-1ac8e555412d-0
00:45:43.040 --> 00:45:46.476
So as you can see in the
picture, Jude has long shiny

bbd489ab-88b6-4d31-ac99-1ac8e555412d-1
00:45:46.476 --> 00:45:47.240
bass fibers.

7fdc2cf2-724f-4007-845c-6cf7c1ec718c-0
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.292
These fibers are rough and can
be spun into core strong threads

7fdc2cf2-724f-4007-845c-6cf7c1ec718c-1
00:45:52.292 --> 00:45:56.965

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.560
Jude is commonly associated with
the fabric burlap.

00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.620
As you can see in the pictures,
most types of Jude fabric are

a29f6b55-5f37-433f-b117-ec369d195af4-1
00:46:14.620 --> 00:46:17.120

thick yarn.

db2a9704-4412-4149-aba9-6c35a6cee13a-0
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:21.885
While Jude absorbs water easily,
it also dries quickly and is

db2a9704-4412-4149-aba9-6c35a6cee13a-1
00:46:21.885 --> 00:46:24.560
highly resistant to abrasion and
stains.

00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.541
Jude is a strong and durable
fiber, but is a rough fiber,

98b9f36a-a1cd-4c01-84f1-c6b81da637b6-1
00:46:28.541 --> 00:46:31.707
which means that it isn't well
suited for apparel unless it

98b9f36a-a1cd-4c01-84f1-c6b81da637b6-2
00:46:31.707 --> 00:46:34.821
goes through an extensive
production process, so you don't

98b9f36a-a1cd-4c01-84f1-c6b81da637b6-3
00:46:34.821 --> 00:46:36.880
normally find it as a clothing
option.

8a875e58-6643-49f3-b22b-55b850630686-0
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:45.816
Since jute fibers are known for
their strength, the fabric is

8a875e58-6643-49f3-b22b-55b850630686-1
00:46:45.816 --> 00:46:49.767
commonly used for packaging a
wide range of agricultural and

8a875e58-6643-49f3-b22b-55b850630686-2
00:46:49.767 --> 00:46:53.654
industrial commodities that
require bags, sacks, packs, and

8a875e58-6643-49f3-b22b-55b850630686-3
00:46:53.654 --> 00:46:57.217
wrappings since jute is highly
resistant to stains and

8a875e58-6643-49f3-b22b-55b850630686-4
00:46:57.217 --> 00:46:57.800
abrasion.

00:47:09.560 --> 00:47:12.880
Woven fabrics of Jude are
classified in heading 5310.

00:47:13.640 --> 00:47:16.360
Here is an actual product sample
of Jude fabric.

c0380dba-75d6-43ac-8c43-6f206f689301-0
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:19.948
My team was able to find one
ruling for Jude but they did not

c0380dba-75d6-43ac-8c43-6f206f689301-1
00:47:19.948 --> 00:47:20.400
write it.

00:47:20.600 --> 00:47:22.800
It is an older ruling from 2010.

f24255f8-53f4-479b-9fe3-158776ba3dd9-0
00:47:24.080 --> 00:47:27.720
It is New York ruling N 108186.

aa44c20e-3ed8-4de4-863c-6e5d906f9f34-0
00:47:28.240 --> 00:47:29.760
The ruling had two samples.

90e3ed41-1c41-4128-b9ea-dc77f9f25428-0
00:47:30.560 --> 00:47:33.967
This is a picture of the first
fabric and it was going to be

90e3ed41-1c41-4128-b9ea-dc77f9f25428-1
00:47:33.967 --> 00:47:36.760
used as a soil saver to improve
the soil quality.

6794b2a7-2766-4dfb-a84b-2205206e98c1-0
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.242
You can see from the picture
that the fabric is a type of

6794b2a7-2766-4dfb-a84b-2205206e98c1-1
00:47:40.242 --> 00:47:43.323
netting which is going to be
used as a wrap to lay on the top

6794b2a7-2766-4dfb-a84b-2205206e98c1-2
00:47:43.323 --> 00:47:43.919
of the soil.

4d1cebd4-5507-4fc4-a4f9-7fac5437f3ae-0
00:47:45.160 --> 00:47:48.749
Netting made from jute can be
very useful in your home garden

4d1cebd4-5507-4fc4-a4f9-7fac5437f3ae-1
00:47:48.749 --> 00:47:52.108
or landscaping project as a

00:47:52.108 --> 00:47:53.440
encourage plant growth.

92c84c93-857f-46fe-ac55-e95d170f4f9c-0
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:57.852
Jute netting helps reduce soil
erosion and provides cover for

92c84c93-857f-46fe-ac55-e95d170f4f9c-1
00:47:57.852 --> 00:47:58.360
regrowth.

77e5cbb3-d207-4751-b6ce-aad2aca77c39-0
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:03.329
The jute netting will naturally
biodegrade which will enrich the

77e5cbb3-d207-4751-b6ce-aad2aca77c39-1
00:48:03.329 --> 00:48:04.440
soil as a compost.

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.543
Unlike silk, it retains its
durability even when wet, so it

99b2cd03-faa2-4a68-9ccd-5af506447152-1
00:55:11.543 --> 00:55:15.028

resistance and resiliency.

dc124b4d-0377-43ea-a040-210cccadcc74-0
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.515
When it is used for clothing or
upholstery, it is typically used

As one of the strongest natural
fibers, raimi is typically used

ac46a209-e7b0-4860-a81e-531eefb2819c-1
00:55:42.512 --> 00:55:45.630

This is the last fabric that I'm
going to talk about, bamboo.

4549081f-1d58-49d9-b06b-eff4222dfded-0
00:56:06.470 --> 00:56:10.324
Bamboo fabric refers to a number
of different textiles that are

Bamboo that is produced
naturally is an environmentally

00:56:15.967 --> 00:56:19.506
sustainable resource, as bamboo
grows quickly without any

However, other types may be
harmful to the environment or

00:56:31.916 --> 00:56:35.075
is important to learn about how
the textile manufacturer

00:56:41.912 --> 00:56:45.520
textiles can be produced using a
number of different methods.

00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:07.424
Bamboo is a natural fiber that
can be processed either as a

00:57:07.424 --> 00:57:12.348
naturally occurring fiber called
bamboo, linen, or a regenerated

00:57:18.080 --> 00:57:22.611
Bamboo is often advertised as a
more sustainable fabric, but

a48ab2a4-e8c4-4a85-891a-ad32c8a5b9d0-1
00:57:22.611 --> 00:57:25.360
this is not always necessarily
true.

00:57:26.080 --> 00:57:29.893
Bamboo is actually a grass that,
when processed by a mechanical

00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:35.880
This type of fiber is produced
from the pulp stem of the plant.

8cef51dc-64c3-4fb7-9129-be9c48df6592-0
00:57:43.110 --> 00:57:46.670
I have a short video on
harvesting bamboo.

00:57:47.870 --> 00:58:42.610
I thought it would be
interesting to watch music.

00:59:30.510 --> 00:59:33.723
Understanding how bamboo is
processed can be confusing and

fe73861b-2795-440a-b9c3-36d52464facf-1
00:59:33.723 --> 00:59:35.030
difficult to understand.

00:59:35.550 --> 00:59:38.603
I thought by watching the video
would help us to understand the

01:00:00.680 --> 01:00:04.310
There are numerous
misconceptions regarding rayon

01:00:04.310 --> 01:00:08.740
because it is made from wood
pulp, but rayon fabric is a man

01:00:08.740 --> 01:00:13.532
made artificial fiber classified
in chapter 54 or 55 depending on

01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:24.120
These fibers fall under subclass
cell of cellulosic fibers.

01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.600
Bamboo is a very versatile
material with many uses.

4c118d2e-cc1f-4210-8548-2d2e577b22cb-0
01:00:33.200 --> 01:00:37.086
Because bamboo is known for its
strength, it is commonly used in

4c118d2e-cc1f-4210-8548-2d2e577b22cb-1
01:00:37.086 --> 01:00:39.000
construction as a natural fiber.

83db6e8f-40cb-4cc7-a8e4-6b52cf93afdf-0
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.402
Bamboo fabric is a popular
choice for everyday items like

83db6e8f-40cb-4cc7-a8e4-6b52cf93afdf-1
01:00:42.402 --> 01:00:44.280
clothing and household products.

01:00:45.560 --> 01:00:48.860
It is a very soft and luxurious
fabric, but it is also

4e8c8a84-c893-4751-a691-7ed85cd42988-1
01:00:48.860 --> 01:00:52.520
lightweight and breathable,
which makes it a good choice for

4e8c8a84-c893-4751-a691-7ed85cd42988-2
01:00:52.520 --> 01:00:54.440
daily use items like bed linens.

01:00:55.560 --> 01:00:59.249
Another pro to bamboo is its
microbial properties, which

76f35e81-44b9-424f-9105-a17ef20aeb56-1
01:00:59.249 --> 01:01:02.680
means that the fiber does not
hold or attract odors.

84a1fa2c-9ea2-4af6-96ab-060489496ad6-0
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:07.366
Bamboo fabric has been shown to
have hypoallergenic and UV

84a1fa2c-9ea2-4af6-96ab-060489496ad6-1
01:01:07.366 --> 01:01:11.624
protection properties, so it is
good for sensitive skin because

84a1fa2c-9ea2-4af6-96ab-060489496ad6-2
01:01:11.624 --> 01:01:15.550
it will not trigger any type of
inflammation or rash while

84a1fa2c-9ea2-4af6-96ab-060489496ad6-3
01:01:15.550 --> 01:01:17.879
protecting your skin from the
sun.

01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:22.880
It is also easy to care for and
does not easily wrinkle.

01:01:31.621 --> 01:01:34.755
commonly used for towels and
robes because of its soft and

01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.760
I did reference a ruling in case
you wanted to look it up.

01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:56.920
It is from 2004 but we do not
get many requests for natural

01:02:15.950 --> 01:02:18.868
Well, I was not able to discuss
all the fabrics that are

01:02:20.230 --> 01:02:23.686
I tried to make you aware of
other eco friendly alternatives

01:02:23.686 --> 01:02:27.030
that may be helpful instead of
hurtful to our environment.

01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:31.440
By selecting more responsibly
made fabrics, we can make a

c17d854f-970f-4a54-a0e1-2cc27393b52f-1
01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:33.240
tangible impact to our planet.

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:37.366
While I focused on the plant
fibers, there are numerous other

0570d222-3dfc-424a-832e-b3691cc55cf9-1
01:02:37.366 --> 01:02:40.681
options out there today
including the animal fibers, but

01:02:40.681 --> 01:02:44.287
we just have to be mindful of
whether those choices are lower

0570d222-3dfc-424a-832e-b3691cc55cf9-3
01:02:44.287 --> 01:02:45.159
impact fabrics.

01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:49.608
For example, the organic version
may be the lower impact

b84c2f3e-41c7-41c5-9556-4058dc48c58f-1
01:02:49.608 --> 01:02:52.120
alternative for many of these
fibers.

01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:56.871
As far as animal fibers, they
need to be ethically sourced in

ad94bcf7-d5dd-412c-9319-e78d9b513f6b-1
01:02:56.871 --> 01:02:59.120
order to be considered

01:03:03.085 --> 01:03:06.525
healthier, and possibly opt for
organic food choices, we can

f7e7db6b-bdd5-4d0a-9f9d-6f1ffdc2e88e-2
01:03:06.525 --> 01:03:10.021
also do the same for fabrics we
choose to wear and use in our

01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:36.305
These leaves are squatted from
the pineapple harvest, so the

946455aa-c2a0-45bc-97cf-5f4a09b4c1de-1
01:03:36.305 --> 01:03:39.048

01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:24.884
So what can we do as consumers
to make better, more sustainable

8a27e755-e10d-41e5-b596-05fbc247d800-1
01:06:24.884 --> 01:06:25.720
fabric choices?

73b9ec7e-633b-48bd-9b44-9cab02a5c35b-0
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:29.782
Well, we have to think about the
purchase we make in order to

73b9ec7e-633b-48bd-9b44-9cab02a5c35b-1
01:06:29.782 --> 01:06:33.031
make improvements, which may
involve some trade-offs, but at

73b9ec7e-633b-48bd-9b44-9cab02a5c35b-2
01:06:33.031 --> 01:06:35.961
the same time we're taking a
positive approach towards

73b9ec7e-633b-48bd-9b44-9cab02a5c35b-3
01:06:35.961 --> 01:06:36.760
sustainability.

01:06:38.040 --> 01:06:41.050
This may involve educating
ourselves on the company or

84c7c4d6-5097-425e-a71b-adacc900f9d8-1
01:06:41.050 --> 01:06:44.498
manufacturer that produces the
fabrics or garments, as well as

84c7c4d6-5097-425e-a71b-adacc900f9d8-2
01:06:44.498 --> 01:06:47.947
reading labels more carefully in
order to make a better buying

84c7c4d6-5097-425e-a71b-adacc900f9d8-3
01:06:47.947 --> 01:06:48.440
decision.

01:06:49.720 --> 01:06:52.904
If you want to follow along on
the slide I have listed some of

ec490930-9107-44c2-843c-032e2819df86-1
01:06:52.904 --> 01:06:55.280
the things we can do to make
positive changes.

f20396c7-0516-49ef-8f62-922292583d68-0
01:06:57.600 --> 01:07:02.080
One, choose natural over
synthetic fabrics.

5160aa80-e483-4491-92b5-bd0f27974a46-0
01:07:04.200 --> 01:07:07.630
Like I said earlier, natural
fabrics are the sustainable

5160aa80-e483-4491-92b5-bd0f27974a46-1
01:07:07.630 --> 01:07:10.821
choice because they are
renewable and biodegradable,

5160aa80-e483-4491-92b5-bd0f27974a46-2
01:07:10.821 --> 01:07:14.252
while the synthetic versions are
made from non renewable

5160aa80-e483-4491-92b5-bd0f27974a46-3
01:07:14.252 --> 01:07:16.719
resources which make them
unsustainable.

01:07:18.040 --> 01:07:21.903
Second, we can choose organic
versions over conventional

07c0446b-e7e8-497d-b8ae-10e4411dcb01-1
01:07:21.903 --> 01:07:22.920
natural fibers.

b86d4b73-297a-4fd3-9b22-4249134b3e6a-0
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:26.920
There are many benefits to
choosing the organic version.

e290f0e5-ccdf-4d78-be14-464b31d31c45-0
01:07:27.040 --> 01:07:30.432
Organic farming practices
prevent pollution to our

e290f0e5-ccdf-4d78-be14-464b31d31c45-1
01:07:30.432 --> 01:07:34.755
environment and water from toxic
pesticides and fertilizers that

e290f0e5-ccdf-4d78-be14-464b31d31c45-2
01:07:34.755 --> 01:07:38.680
would normally be used with
regular non organic practices.

7611c5e8-ca4f-4567-a2b0-159838697f1e-0
01:07:41.200 --> 01:07:45.240
Next, choose printed over dyed
fabrics.

c7f39d82-740e-49bb-a975-e961e86814ad-0
01:07:45.720 --> 01:07:49.334
By choosing digitally printed
fabrics over dyed fabrics, we

c7f39d82-740e-49bb-a975-e961e86814ad-1
01:07:49.334 --> 01:07:50.840
are saving tons of water.

49a4b88a-3fbc-4a46-bb3a-ae485f122dfa-0
01:07:51.480 --> 01:07:55.589
The dyeing process accounts for
the majority of the water used

49a4b88a-3fbc-4a46-bb3a-ae485f122dfa-1
01:07:55.589 --> 01:07:59.698
during production and pollutes
heavy metals, bleach, and other

49a4b88a-3fbc-4a46-bb3a-ae485f122dfa-2
01:07:59.698 --> 01:08:01.720
chemicals into the environment.

6c1bc06a-7818-4321-bb0c-645cd39cc051-0
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:05.349
By choosing digitally printed
fabrics there is hardly any

6c1bc06a-7818-4321-bb0c-645cd39cc051-1
01:08:05.349 --> 01:08:08.998
water used and it reduces the
carbon footprint because water

6c1bc06a-7818-4321-bb0c-645cd39cc051-2
01:08:08.998 --> 01:08:12.289
usage has a high carbon
footprint due to the amount of

6c1bc06a-7818-4321-bb0c-645cd39cc051-3
01:08:12.289 --> 01:08:15.400
energy needed to supply, treat
and transport water.

4d360216-c1f1-419f-a688-a49a3571b32e-0
01:08:19.080 --> 01:08:22.480
Next, we can choose recycled
synthetic fabrics.

fc572150-b2c1-47e8-aed9-5797ff5e1fbe-0
01:08:23.160 --> 01:08:26.491
We already know that synthetic
fabrics are not a sustainable

fc572150-b2c1-47e8-aed9-5797ff5e1fbe-1
01:08:26.491 --> 01:08:29.440
choice but the recycled version
is the better option.

46084aba-ac23-4d7e-abb3-df0cc67b30d6-0
01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:33.308
Also, we know that synthetic
fibers are made from non

46084aba-ac23-4d7e-abb3-df0cc67b30d6-1
01:08:33.308 --> 01:08:37.030
renewable resources, but by
choosing recycled versions this

46084aba-ac23-4d7e-abb3-df0cc67b30d6-2
01:08:37.030 --> 01:08:40.875
adds life to the fabric which
allows it to be used longer and

46084aba-ac23-4d7e-abb3-df0cc67b30d6-3
01:08:40.875 --> 01:08:43.479
it saves it from ending up in a
landfill.

a929a3a2-deb6-451b-9f96-77775887e8b9-0
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:49.000
Finally, we can choose to reuse.

f745724f-dcd5-4273-a97b-023719fb1ff0-0
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:54.031
You can give old clothing new
life by removing removing excess

f745724f-dcd5-4273-a97b-023719fb1ff0-1
01:08:54.031 --> 01:08:56.680
fabric to create crop tops or
shorts.

01:08:56.800 --> 01:09:00.625
You can repurpose old clothing
to make tote bags, dog beds,

728ef074-267d-4f45-889b-17041c702078-1
01:09:00.625 --> 01:09:03.240
pillowcases, or even quilts or
blankets.

f857f4bb-9d5e-4440-ae85-89da1e56dcef-0
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:07.692
Today, kids play a lot of
sports, so you can take those

f857f4bb-9d5e-4440-ae85-89da1e56dcef-1
01:09:07.692 --> 01:09:10.730
different jerseys and make them
into a quilt, which makes

f857f4bb-9d5e-4440-ae85-89da1e56dcef-2
01:09:10.730 --> 01:09:13.924
memories that can be seen that
would otherwise end up in the

f857f4bb-9d5e-4440-ae85-89da1e56dcef-3
01:09:13.924 --> 01:09:14.920
back of the closet.

01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:19.785
You can use leftover fabric
scraps to make stuffed animals,

f44941a8-66a1-480d-a80a-b87351809a52-1
01:09:19.785 --> 01:09:23.560
memory boards, mocks or aprons,
or even patchwork quilts.

dc6789a2-8b24-4697-ba1e-0d06bae90c14-0
01:09:24.400 --> 01:09:28.063
Other ideas include clothes
swapping or sharing and passing

dc6789a2-8b24-4697-ba1e-0d06bae90c14-1
01:09:28.063 --> 01:09:30.200
down clothing to younger
siblings.

d0064a97-4ec0-4ffa-8230-d7fdb80bb1da-0
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:34.597
These are just some tips for
giving new life to old fabric or

d0064a97-4ec0-4ffa-8230-d7fdb80bb1da-1
01:09:34.597 --> 01:09:37.440
clothing while reducing waste
and landfills.

ca173abe-fb54-4bab-ac7a-10c0c9e87cd4-0
01:09:42.320 --> 01:09:45.224
Well, I could not cover all the
fabrics that are considered

ca173abe-fb54-4bab-ac7a-10c0c9e87cd4-1
01:09:45.224 --> 01:09:47.160
sustainable today in the
allotted time.

01:09:47.360 --> 01:09:50.866
I tried to give you a rundown of
the most obvious fabrics, which

22c95b10-69ad-46e7-bc8c-6c65c024a0d6-1
01:09:50.866 --> 01:09:52.000
are the natural ones.

01:09:52.800 --> 01:09:55.991
You may think that you can't
make a difference, but if we all

8bb43952-117e-41b4-9bb0-ecf0427273f1-1
01:09:55.991 --> 01:09:59.233
take a positive action towards
sustainability, it will lead to

8bb43952-117e-41b4-9bb0-ecf0427273f1-2
01:09:59.233 --> 01:10:00.160

01:10:15.043 --> 01:10:18.647
