Our cloth uses only earth friendly dyes and peroxide to lighten. Hemp improves the physical condition of the soil. Because hemp is a hardy plant, it usually requires no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers if grown on good soil. When water retted on the ground it does not exhaust the soil fertility. It is so fast growing that it eliminates or greatly reduces weeds thereby preparing the soil for other crops.
Farmers are also very excited about hemp as a rotation crop for soybeans, wheat and potatoes.
Hemp produces more pulp per acre than timber on a sustainable basis, and can be used for every quality of paper. Hemp paper manufacturing can reduce waste-water contamination. Hemp's low lignin content reduces the need for acids used in pulping, and it's creamy color lends itself to environmentally friendly bleaching instead of harsh chlorine compounds. Less bleaching results in less dioxin and fewer chemical by-products. Hemp fiber paper resists decomposition, and does not yellow with age when an acid free process is used.
