9 REASONS WHY THE EARTH LOVES LINEN

  • 1. LINEN IS A NATURAL FIBRE MADE FROM FLAX PLANTS

    ​The majority of clothes we wear today are either man made or very chemically intensive to produce. Linen is made from flax plants, a plant which grows without the need for fertilizers or pesticides. This means it is a renewable resource, one that is fast growing and can be produced without damaging the environment. 

  • 2. LINEN ACTUALLY LOWERS YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

    ​Fun fact about linen, one hectare of flax can take 3.7 tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere. That means from all the linen grown in Europe, around 250,000 tonnes of CO2 is removed each year! Or put another way, it saves enough CO2 to drive around the planet nearly 22,600 times.

  • 3. FLAX CAN BE GROWN WITHOUT FERTILISERS OR PESTICIDES

    ​Flax requires few fertilisers or pesticides to produce. As impressive as it might sound, flax often comes close to the organic standard without even trying.This is great for the environment and contributes hugely to the sustainability of Linen.

  • 4. NO WASTE IS LEFT

    A key reason why linen is a sustainable fabric is because the entire flax plant can be woven into a fibre, which means that almost no waste is left over from the spinning and weaving process.

  • 5. LINEN IS BIODEGRADABLE AND RECYCLABLE

    Yes, linen is 100% biodegradable and recyclable.  How long does linen take to biodegrade? Pure natural linen can start to decompose in just two weeks. To speed up the decomposition process, make sure to cut it into small pieces. 

  • 6. LINEN FABRIC IS STRONG

    Linen has been used for centuries to make everything from clothes to bed linen, even armour. It is one of the toughest fabrics, meaning it will last for years. The longer you wear your clothes without replacing, the more sustainably you are dressing.

  • 7. LINEN BECOMES SOFTER OVER TIME

    The more linen is washed, the softer it becomes. This is an incredible advantage of linen that means linen clothes actually get better with time. 

  • 8. LINEN IS GOOD FOR WARM AND COOL WEATHER

    Linen offers styles perfect for those hot summer days. It’s hollow fibres allow air to easily pass through the fabric, keeping you cool and fresh. This also ensure linen has good thermo regulating properties. This means linen will keep you warmer when the temperature drops. 

  • 9. LINEN ABSORBS MOISTURE BUT IS NATURALLY ANTI-BACTERIAL

    Linen absorbs moisture without holding bacteria, meaning your clothes won’t get smelly and will require less frequent washing. The less often you wash your clothes, the longer your clothes will last, the more sustainable your wardrobe.
