LINEN AND LINEN COTTON PRODUCTS
Linen is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat. Linen garment feels cool to the touch and linen fabric will quickly remove perspiration from the skin. Linen is capable of absorbing moisture and then and quickly yielding it again. As linen quickly allows the heat to escape, it further improves cooling.
Breathable – linen guarantees good air circulation and absorbs excess humidity. At the same time thick linen fabric keeps your bread fresh for longer. Additionally washing and ironing is very good for linen – with the time your bag will feel even softer and nicer.
Linen is famous for its antibacterial properties. Because it wicks moisture and dries out much faster than cotton, it doesn’t let bacteria build up.
Flax grows naturally and requires no additional water other than rainwater, making it the most eco-friendly fabric. Because it’s a natural fiber, flax linen is recyclable and biodegrade. Linen fabrics can be recycled into paper and insulation materials for the car industry.
Linen is one of the most biodegradable and stylish fabrics in fashion history. It is strong, naturally moth resistant, and made from flax plant fibres, so when untreated (i.e. not dyed) it is fully biodegradable.
Eco-friendly
Linen is bio-degradable and compostable, as well as being recyclable, which makes it the perfect choice for those who are trying to be more conscious of the items they are using.
Hard-wearing material
One bonus of linen bags is that they last so long, making them an attractive option for customers who are wanting to get a lot of use out of their reusable bags on a daily basis.
Durable
Similarly to being hard-wearing, linen bags are considered to be very durable and can take quite a lot of weight. Linen bags are great for carrying heavier items in as they can have thicker handles and the material is strong. Linen is a great material for shopping bags and will stand up easily against items such as milk.
Easily customisable
As linen bags come in a natural colour, they are easy to print on to and customise. They are an ideal material for companies wanting to showcase their brand on a sturdy bag that customers will want to keep on using.
Here are 9 things that make linen an eco-friendly material:
- Flax grows naturally and requires no additional water other than rainwater, making it the most eco-friendly fabric.
- Because it’s a natural fiber, flax linen is recyclable and biodegrades.
- The whole flax plant can be used, leaving no waste.
- According to the European Confederation of Linen and Hemp, flax respects the environment and preserves the land.
- Very little energy is required to process flax.
- Linen yarn is inherently strong, which reduces the need for starching during spinning and weaving.
- The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tonnes of CO2.
- Linen fabrics can be recycled into paper and insulation materials for the car industry.
- Flax linen is many times stronger than cotton, which means clothing, window hangings, and upholstery made from linen is made to last, rather than wind up in a landfill.
