Why Eco friendly?

Natural fibre: Over the past half century, natural fibres have been displaced in our clothing, household furnishings, industries and agriculture by man-made fibres with names like acrylic, nylon, polyester and polypropylene. The success of synthetics is due mainly to cost. Unlike natural fibres harvested by farmers, commonly used synthetic fibres are mass produced from petrochemicals to uniform strengths, lengths and colours, easily customized to specific applications. But they are extremely harmful. Relentless competition from synthetics and the current global economic downturn impact the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on natural fibre production and processing.
Why one should opt for Natural fibre products?
1) Natural fibres are a healthy choice: Most people know natural fibres provide natural ventilation.
2) Natural fibres are a responsible choice: They are of major economic importance to many developing countries and vital to the livelihoods and food security of millions of small-scale farmers and processors.
3) It is a sustainable option: Natural fibres will play a key role in the emerging “green” economy based on energy efficiency, the use of renewable feed stocks in polymer products, industrial processes that reduce carbon emissions and recyclable materials that minimize waste.
4) Natural fibres are a renewable resource, par excellence: they have been renewed by nature and human ingenuity for millennia. They are also carbon neutral: they absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide they produce.
5) Biodegradable, do not end up in landfill: During processing, they generate mainly organic wastes and leave residues that can be used to generate electricity or make ecological housing material. And, at the end of their life cycle, they are 100% biodegradable.
Natural fibres really excel in the disposal stage of their life cycle. Since they absorb water, natural fibres decay through the action of fungi and bacteria. Natural fibre products can be composted to improve soil structure, or incinerated with no emission of pollutants and release of no more carbon than the fibres absorbed during their lifetimes.
We have all reasons to switch to natural fibre products!
