Why use organic flax?

·      One of the flax plant benefits is that it traps huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the environment. One hectare of flax retains 3.7 tons of CO2 every year.

·      Unlike regular linen farming, where farmers may use synthetic inputs, the organic type doesn’t need these. It means farmers grow it without herbicides, fertilizers, regulators, and fungicides when it is certified organic. Organic production ensures no residue of these products in the soil or on the finished material.

·      The plant is also zero-waste because manufacturers can use every part of it to make various products. For example, flaxseed oil, linseed oil, and flaxseed food products. As a result, when farmers pick the plant, its various parts are useful, thereby preventing waste. However, of course, the actual sustainability can vary based on how much reuse occurs.

·      Like natural fibers, linen fabrics are fully biodegradable and compostable. Linen will decompose in compost, providing it is not mixed with toxic chemicals or synthetic fibers.

·      The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification guarantees fabrics sustainable production.
