Eco Materials 101: Hemp
Hemp is an exceptionally eco-friendly material. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It is also harvested and processed by hand. Hemp is also one of, if not the most, durable natural fibers on the planet. With such resilience, hemp will last and last and last, so you won’t have to spend precious time and money on replacements.
Patagonia’s Hempdress is made from 67% hemp and 33% recycled polyester.
