The advantages of natural fibers, like flax or hemp, already reflect in their ecological cultivation. For example, does the cultivation of flax require considerably less water in comparison to other natural fibers.* The plants themselves do not make any demands on the soil and thus, do not require any fertilzer. Hemp can even be used as catch crop to prepare the soil for more demanding plants. Growing areas for flax or hemp are located in Europe, making long transportation routes unnecessary in favor of our environment.
Our team has set itself the task of developing sustainable alternatives to traditional products based on PET or PP fibers. Beautiful, functional, and biodegradable**.
