Linen is the most sustainable material compared to other materials like cotton or polyester, as it requires much less resources to grow and process. LILLY PILLY's European linen comes with EUROPEAN FLAX™ certification which guarantees it's quality, provides traceability, and ensures its been produced in a sustainable way.
Chemical Free Processing
One environmental concern regarding Linen is the chemicals used during the retting and grinding process.
The separation of the fiber from the woody materials was once done manually, howevertoday we use different organic compounds like Alkali and Oxalic that help accelerate the process.
No Pesticides
Linen can be grown without water, pesticides and chemicals however this does not exclude the fact that some people may use them.
The EUROPEAN FLAX™ certified linen we use isguaranteed to have come from a pesticide-free growing process.
