“The 40-dollar quilt is guaranteed to be 100% free of black heart cotton,” and the weather turned cold recently. Many low-cost quilts appeared in Songgang Town, Nanhai, Foshan. On December 7, according to the clues, the Yangcheng Evening News reporter followed the law enforcement officers of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision to the Le'an Village, Shijiao, Songgang, Nanhai. They witnessed the entire production process of a darkhearted cotton den, and the source of the 40-dollar cheap quilt was solved. Open up.
To the surprise of law enforcement personnel, this black-hearted cotton nest has been computerized. The quilts produced are either black or dark and confusing.
Only three reporters from the black-heart dens members saw on the scene that the black cotton nest hides in a garbage recycling yard in Le'an Village, Shiqian, Songgang. According to one of the dwelling bosses, the original is a waste recycling station.
At the production site, piles of old, dirty, compressed matter exude a musty smell. Experts accompanying the Guangzhou Fiber Inspection Institute told the reporter, “These raw materials do not contain cotton components. They are all leftovers of industrial chemical fiber or other clothing. Without strict disinfection, they may become a hotbed of bacteria.”
Compared with the black cotton nests that were destroyed in the past, the technology content of this den is obviously higher. The reporter saw at the scene that, beside the machine tool that punched the quilt, a computer was equipped to computerize the punching of the black heart quilt. The worker could press the computer to complete the production process.
Thanks to the convenience of computerization, the labor costs of blackhearted cotton production have been greatly reduced. The den owner told the reporter, "We are the family workshop. Only me and my husband, and his sister and three people."
The underwear waste was processed into raw material in a hidden place. Law enforcement officers found the raw material warehouse and the result was surprising. The raw material of this black heart cotton den is the pink and white female underwear waste.
It is obviously not enough to guarantee the whiteness of raw materials. The next step is to use a machine to completely break these women's underwear scraps and make them into white cotton-like chemical fibers.
The reporter saw that the whole machine used to process fake cotton was a few meters long. After the underwear was stuffed in, it was broken and then pressed through the machine layer by layer. The "cotton" was processed like this. At the other end of the machine, "cotton" spits out slowly from the machine, and the workers then compact and compact the cotton.
When everything is ready, the workers will put these "cotton" into the quilt, and then cover the surface with a layer of white chemical fiber, a typical black heart cotton announced the completion of the manufacturing.

What is even more dangerous is that the short fibers in the batting are easily absorbed into the lungs and induce respiratory diseases such as asthma.
