Since the beginning of the use of soap for washing clothes we have witnessed the deep mark that we have left on our environment, even more so with the appearance and manufacture of the first synthetic detergents which have generated serious environmental problems since the beginning of the 20th century when the first powder detergent was manufactured in Germany, adding harmful substances such as perborates, silicates and sodium carbonates to traditional soap. So harmful were its consequences that, in the middle of the century, governments had to create specific laws to limit, and even eliminate, these detergents from the production process. detergents, certain highly polluting ingredients.
Most of the elements contained in the detergents, are obtained from petroleum derivatives, such as surfactants. Another conventional problem caused by these ingredients is the phosphates produced in rivers and seas. These substances serve as washing enhancers, but also as algae fertilizers. This means that, when they are dumped into sea water, the reproduction of these living beings is accelerated, so that there are many more algae that take all the oxygen from the water and seriously affect the proper development of the rest of the living beings that inhabit the aquatic environment. Synthetic perfumes that cause allergies and dermatitis, bleaching substances that represent a real problem for health, toxic elements for aquatic life and a long etcetera of chemical formulation that helps us to leave our clothes clean, but that has not taken into account the serious environmental impact that it continues to cause.
