Still not sure?
Here’s how hemp compares.
-
Hemp is considered 6x more sustainable than flax linen as it produces 6x the amount of fire compared to flax using the same plot of land.
Hemp plants absorb 12x carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than flax plants.
Hemp fabric is 8x stronger than linen and therefore will last longer.
-
Both hemp and bamboo bedding is soft, breathable and hyper-allergenic.
However, bamboo requires toxic chemicals to be produced from stalk to fibre, whereas hemp does not.
Bamboo looses strength during the chemical breakdown process, whereas hemp remains extremely strong and durable.
-
Hemp requires half the amount of water needed to produce the same amount of cotton.
Hemp requires half the land space compared to cotton.
Hemp fabric is 3x stronger than cotton and will last you a lot longer.
