Hemp vs. Cotton: The Advantages of Hemp Fabrics
Among the many uses of industrial hemp, the fibrous plant is well known for its usefulness in creating long-lasting and durable textiles. While cotton has long been king in the world of fabrics, industrial hemp offers a sustainable approach to creating high-quality fabrics and clothing. How does hemp really stack up to cotton when compared side-by-side, and how can this plant change the way we think about the textile industry?
Can You Blend Hemp with Other Fabrics?
Industrial hemp is a versatile plant renown for its wide range of uses. One of the most common and widespread uses of hemp is in the creation of a hemp-based fabric, which can be used in clothing, bags, linens, and much more. Hemp fabric offers some major advantages over other types of materials, so it’s natural to wonder whether it could be blended with them to leverage the best of both worlds. Luckily, the answer is yes.
Sustainable Textiles: Where Is The Industry Headed?
The textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world, meaning all its impacts – for good or ill – are truly global in nature. When it comes to environmental footprint, the textile industry historically has been far from sustainable, requiring massive amounts of water and energy for production, as well as complex transportation networks to ship finished products from one end of the globe to the other.
