"Recycled Cotton" Makes Gloves And Then Flows Into The Market.

The law enforcement officers seized the unlicensed processing dens on the spot.

After inspection, it was found that the processing point was operated by Chen people in Wenzhou. There were 4 cement pools that used sodium hypochlorite to decolorization, more than 300 square meters of air drying grounds, more than 60 square meters of storage shed, and a large number of coloured rag and treated colourless rags.

Industrial and commercial law enforcement officers took photos and collected evidence at the scene and sealed up some of the items involved.

Chen said that after the approval of the environmental protection department and the absence of the business license, he began to carry out the dyeing and finishing process of rags in February 27, 2007.

He bought discarded cloth from a nearby garment factory, decolorizing it with sodium hypochlorite and drying it, then sold it to Cangnan, Wenzhou, for processing gloves.

Due to chemical bleaching and dyeing processes, regenerated cotton is harmful to the human body. The State forbids the use of recycled cotton to make clothes, quilts and so on. It is generally used for industrial purposes.

People can distinguish normal cotton and regenerated cotton by contrasting color, luster and elasticity.

At present, the case is still being further processed.
