It's the year 2021, you hear everyone talking about preserving the environment, saving the turtles by using paper straws, and you wonder, how can I make a difference? You start thinking about something that could make a difference, and you find an article about the process of how clothing is manufactured. You quickly conclude that most clothing is produced in third-world countries using toxic materials like lead, PFAS and phthalates. You start quickly googling; which clothing is eco-friendly?

When it comes to sustainable clothing, we refer to fabrics derived from eco-friendly sources, sustainably grown fiber crops or recycled materials. There is a lot of discussions about which fabrics are genuinely sustainable. Are natural materials always equal good and synthetic equal bad? What happens when we wash or dispose of our clothes? We decided to list multiple natural fabrics that best suit the characteristic of the definition "sustainable."

Recycled Cotton:

Cotton is an example of one of the most fabrics. Cotton is a natural fibre that is very light and breathable, which makes it a wardrobe must. Even though we all use Cotton, we don't quite understand the harm of growing the material. Cotton is one of the thirstiest and most chemical-intensive crops to grow. Cotton requires a lot of pesticides and, as a result, harms the planet and the people who grow it. By using Organic Cotton, we find a more sustainable alternative to conventional Cotton, which minimizes the environmental impact of cotton production by removing harmful pesticides and other chemicals from the production process. If you're looking for the most sustainable Cotton, however, go recycled. Recycled or upcycled Cotton is made using post-industrial and post-consumer cotton waste. Recycled Cotton has the potential to help reduce water and energy consumption and help keep cotton clothes out of the landfill – which is why we consider it one of the most sustainable fibres on the market.

Organic Hemp:

Help is a fabric we use everywhere in today's age. Hemp unlike marijuana, is used for many purposes like food, supply material, cosmetics and clothing fabric. Hemp can be grown worldwide and requires very little water with basic soil to grow, which makes it a favourite among manufacturers. Hemp is mainly used for warmer clothing, which helps you keep warm in the winter with a very soft fill to it. A key benefit to hemp is that the more it gets washed, the softer it gets.

Organic Linen:

Linenis another natural fibre people have been growing for centuries. Similar to hemp, the origin is derived from a very versatile crop. This cop is very close to hemp, which requires minimal water and pesticides and grows in poor-quality soil. Unlike many plants (like Cotton), every part of the Linen is used, so nothing is wasted. Linen is strong, naturally moth resistant, and fully biodegradable when naturally manufactured (no colours or toxins). In addition to being good for the planet, it is also light and can withstand warm temperatures, absorbing moisture without holding bacteria
