In recent years, environmental protection has become the main purpose of button production. Environmental protection buttons are more conducive to the export of buttons, and they are also more demanding of buttons.

For example, imitation gold electroplated buttons on the market are more popular and the price is lower. Such buttons are usually made of ABS plastic after imitation gold electroplating. In the initial stage of button production, its color is more beautiful, but if the surface treatment of the buttons is not strict , Storage time is slightly longer, it will fade to green, completely changed into another look.

If such a button is used on a high-end garment, it will inevitably affect the sales of the garment. So when choosing a button, in addition to the beautiful color and shape, you must also consider how durable the color is (if it is a plated button, the quality of 16K gold plating is better). In addition, the eyelet tensile strength of the button must be large.

If there are dark-eye or handle buttons, the wall thickness at the eye grooves should be sufficient. This type of button often takes resin buttons as the main body, and is suitably decorated with various metal or ABS gold-plated inserts and is covered with transparent resin epoxy glue. It looks stable, beautiful, and durable.

However, today's buttons seem to be more environmentally friendly. The choice of materials is particularly important. As everyone knows, lead and nickel are heavy metals and are very harmful to the human body.

Sources of lead in buttons: First, lead salt stabilizers commonly used in plastic production. Lead salt stabilizers are widely used in the production of opaque plastic products due to their good thermal stability, excellent electrical properties, and low cost. The second is the lead-containing dyes, pigments and auxiliaries used in the plastic coloring process.

Recently, the position of accessories such as zippers, buttons, belts, and metal fasteners in clothing design has been increasingly emphasized. Especially, some design accessories have been widely used to decorate fashionable women's clothing and casual clothing to improve the Grade and value. However, for the garment industry, the issue of textile export quotas is no longer the main contradiction of the current textile and apparel industry. Instead, new export restrictions that use environmental indicators of product quality as green trade barriers have been replaced. In addition, the environmental protection of clothing is inseparable from the environmental protection of raw materials. In addition to the two functions of practicality and decorativeness, auxiliary materials should also ensure health, safety and environmental protection.

Environmental protection will be indispensable for button production now and in the future.
