ORGANIC WOOL
Organic wool differs from conventional wool by using fewer chemicals and pesticides. To be considered organic, this wool must come from sheep that have not been exposed to toxic products or treated cruelly. This results in a double benefit—less soil pollution and a better quality of life for the sheep.

This plant is also very popular in the textile industry, and it’s easy to see why. Hemp offers many advantages, not only in terms of sustainability but also due to numerous characteristics that make it a very attractive material.
Starting with cultivation: it is a plant resistant to pests and diseases, it conserves water, and its decomposition is relatively quick. This prevents soil contamination because fewer pesticides are needed, which saves water and reduces agricultural costs (potentially up to 77% compared to cotton).
It has antibacterial and antifungal properties (making the fabric suitable for medical care, as it has the potential to reduce the risk of infection), is resistant to mold, offers UV protection, and has good absorption and air permeability.
Hemp is versatile, as it can be blended with other fibers, both natural and synthetic, and naturally comes in different colors.
