• Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and chemicals.
• Bamboo naturally grows rapidly and does not require replantng.

• Bamboo is naturally grown without pesticides or chemicals. • Bamboo absorbs 5 times the amount of CO2 than the same amount of trees. • It is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal which makes it great for allergy suffers. • Warm in winter and cool in summer. • 100% biodegradable. • Bamboo helps to improve soil quality. • Bamboo does require some chemicals in the production of the fabric but it’s overall eco characteristics out way this problem. With the increasing demand for more eco fabrics, manufacturers are inventing new sustainable processes all the time.

hemp • Hemp is a rapidly growing plant and can choke out other weeds. • It has a strong resistance to most pests so it doesn’t need fertilizers and chemicals. • Hemp can be grown with other legume crops, maturing in just 8-12 weeks fulfilling it nitrogen requirements.
• Many cotton farmers are finding their land is becoming degraded by chemical pollution, irrigation and soil compacting. Hemp fibre farming may ease the situation. • Hemp replenishes soil with nutrients and nitrogen, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces lots of oxygen.
• Hemp can be used to reclaim land in areas prone to drought and flood. • A long and very strong bast fibre, hemp has been used for thousands of years to make products. • Anti-mildew, UV protection, thermodynamic and hypoallergenic qualities.
