SERIOUSLY SUSTAINABLE
How does a good night's sleep fit into holistic living?
Lasting investment
Good at fighting o stains by being naturally stain-resistant, your linen set can stay fresher
for longer. While softening with every wash, these sheets are bound to see many seasons.
Natural textile
Linen is produced using the natural resource, flax, in its purest form. The use of organic
flax allows for no harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides to be used during the
cultivation process. Last but not least, flax is biodegradable which means if ever you had
the need to change out your beloved set of bedding, your eco-footprint
is naturally reduced.
Water Consumption
Flax in itself uses significantly less water than that of its most common
alternative cotton. The flax plant is durable and is, therefore, able to grow in less
favourable soil conditions.
Credibility
Linen oered by Wild Fig carries certifications from organisations such as the European Linen
Certification, OEKO Tex and GOTS Certifications. Adhering to a variety of standards and
compliances, Wild Fig linen is sustainable as not only the product is cared for in an ecological
sense. The production and sourcing of flax are also done in an ethical way.
Effcient and optimal
A major benefit of using flax in the production of linen is the use of all components of the flax
plant. The stem is used to wick linen while the seeds can be used for human consumption.
Other components include linseed oil while the most sustainable component is the use of the
plant root as fertiliser for crops to follow.
