Future Clothing..... Paper Clothing

Wear it and throw it away

Will anyone then be able to believe that in the years to come we will also embellish garments that are made of paper? The idea to make paper costumes first came to mind in 1966 from John Scott, owner of the Scott Paper Company in Kansas City, USA. For the first time in the history of the world, he started manufacturing "Wear and throw" type of paper garments in consultation with his company's shareholders. At that time, it seemed that a revolution was about to take place in the garment industry. These paper garments were widely advertised. 

News about him was published in newspapers at home and abroad. As a result, the Scott Paper Company, which manufactures these paper garments, began receiving thousands of orders. Dealers and distributors began to investigate this new and unique invention. It turned out that the Scots had actually used paperware as a publicity stunt to boost sales of their other paper products.

But at that time, the production of paper clothes had really started. Although it was on a limited scale. They were used to match the light blue uniforms of Pan American Airways flight attendants. They were also used in kitchens. Once used, they were discarded.

Over time, the production of paper costumes also improved. Cosmetics stores began buying thousands of white-striped pink gowns for sale in their stores. These gowns were used in salons. They were manufactured by Zimmer End, a California company. Which was at the forefront of the manufacture of disposable items. 

The company was famous for its paper coats for laboratory workers, paper gowns for food experimenters, and paper shoes for hospital cleaners. "Within ten decades, there will be a significant increase in the demand for discarded coats and cloaks in every industrial unit" said Herr Lidsmer, president of the firm.

Paper gowns are great for whitewashing and painting walls, protecting their clothes from splatter and stains. If everyone keeps a paper gown in their car, this gown will save them from the cost of dry cleaning when they open the tires or do any other work. That is, it will protect her clothes from the stains of grease and other things. This gown is available in the market for only two and a half dollars. It can be used a second time after a single-use. Because it is made very durable.

Scott and Cumber Clark, two leading American paper companies used a thin nylon net to create a stronger and more durable paper cloth by placing it between thick layers of paper using a special process. They made a paper cloth that looked and looked like a normal cloth. The fabric was also made with the addition of some chemical ingredients so that it would not be affected by the fire and would not be damaged by soaking in water. The cloth was mostly used to make jackets for street workers.

Hospitals and doctors have long been using discarded clothing, jackets, and surgical gowns. From an economic point of view, the use of paper garments saves money. A discarded paper gown costs 25 cents. It costs forty cents to wash a normal gown. According to a report by a private gynecologist, there are many other benefits besides saving paper bags. They are packed in a box of fifty. It can be easily stored. They do not have any problems with spots, cracks or binding. In addition, patients prefer gowns that have never been used before.

Paper cloth has now begun to be introduced not only in the United States but also in South American countries, universities, paper degree gowns and caps. Which are discarded after use Men's swimwear made of paper sheets. Commonly available in the markets. The Devent Paper Company has developed paper sheets into everything from book covers and wall coverings to swimwear.

 Paper handkerchiefs are bought in large numbers in hotels and provided to customers. The handkerchiefs look very nice and suitable to use and are beautiful to look at. Children's bibs and other clothes are also made from paper cloth. So are paper sheets and pillowcases. Paper sheets are so big that they cover the whole bed. 

These sheets are used by the US Department of the Army in the tens of millions. The Department of Defense orders millions of paper-lined paper shoes and sheets for soldiers each year. The use of paper covers and caps is common on trains and airplanes. Paper handkerchiefs are also widely used.

It is a fact that buyers do not buy everything just by looking at the price. Tissue paper, for example, is one of the most widely sold and widely used items of all time. It does not save money but it does provide cleaning and convenience. Similarly, a housewife does not buy paper napkins just for the sake of saving when she has her own laundry. 

For years, women have been working hard to clean earthen bags around vacuum cleaners. When paper bags were introduced, they immediately gave them a general certificate and ignored the prices. Now the same trend is being seen with baby diapers. Fabric diapers were used, but disposing of them was a problem. But now paper diapers have made it easier. They are flush after use. The sale of paper diapers has skyrocketed everywhere these days. This is a tribute to the economy.

Another noteworthy fact about discarded items is that many of them are slowly gaining acceptance. For example, paper towels. The paper towel was introduced by John Scott in 1967. These towels did not gain popularity because they were too thick and heavy and could not be used in toilets. Twenty-four years later, they began to be prepared for domestic use. Yet they did not gain such popularity. But nowadays housewives use them in billions every year.

If trade history is a guide, then use it and throw it away. Spreading the popularity of this type of item opens the door to the invention and acceptance of other items such as paper napkins, paper towels, and Paper gowns to coastal clothing.

But no matter how popular paper apparel and other paper products may be, it cannot be said with certainty whether they will compete with fabrics made of cotton, silk, polyester and other natural and unnatural fibers. The paper weaver is not paid as much as the other weaver. The same is true of the factories that manufacture them. But there is a possibility that a solution to their problems will be found and the time is not far when people around the world will be buying huge quantities of paper garments and other paper products from their markets at very cheap prices.
