Clothing/Hat garment labels are generally woven synthetic material that will last 1000+ years and pollute. We have recently chosen to use organic cotton printed with vegetable dyes for our inner labels, even our inner size labels ore now made from paper. These labels will eventually turn back into soil. We have been thinking about the end of life for our hats. After they have been used for many years and if they are made from biodegradable material like organic cotton, hemp, raffia straw or wool they could be composted and turn back into healthy soil for your garden. Stay tuned for a video on this soon. So now we are excited to sell many hats from biodegradable materials, no single use plastic, compostable tags and labels and even new biodegradable tape for our boxes, all of it will eventually and turn back into healthy soil!
