Biodegradable
A fabric is considered biodegradable when it decomposes naturally and, in general, faster than other types of fibers (mostly synthetic or mixed). The biodegradation process is promoted by the action of microorganisms (bacteria) that breaks the original material into smaller molecules. Usually, the result of this biodegradation is water and CO2. Biodegradable fabrics tend to have less impact on nature.
Organic fabrics are textiles produced in a way that does not compromise the health of workers, consumers or the environment. Small in scale, this type of production does not use genetically modified seeds or pesticides, thus protecting the air, water, soil and the health of everyone involved in its production, from farmer to final customer.
Organic
Plant Based
Textiles made with no animal-based materials.
Fabrics made of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, hemp and others. These textiles offer more comfort than synthetic ones. Yarns made from natural materials do not undergo severe chemical processing, instead, the raw material is spun exactly as it is.
Natural
Made from Waste
Fabrics made from waste or by-products from other industries.
