In celebration of the annual Levi’s 501 Day on May 1st, Levi’s is launching a special edition eco-friendly jean inspired by its classic and definitive 1947 design and made from 100% organic cotton. Organic cotton starts with seeds that are not genetically modified or treated with fungicides or pesticides. Weed and pest control is taken care of with the use of natural predators, by hand hoeing, trap crops and biological practices., The whole process from growth through harvesting is monitored by The Organic Trade Association. This special edition instead of its usual red tab it will carry a white tab with green Levi’s sign off to mark its exclusivity.
Today go green, go organic and environment protection is not only big in the fashion industry but in our CCTV surveillance industry as well. If you are aware of the importance of coexisting with the environment for sustained growth and development, look out for the RoHS compliance sticker on the CCTV gear.
RoHS stands for Restriction on Hazardous Substances. The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component.
Well, that is that. Oh yes, I'm going to get this pair of jeans.
