Manufacturer:
This
sweatshop-free product is designed and manufactured by Ecolution using
locally grown organic hemp. Ecolution is based in the democratic
country Romania, where it owns its own organic hemp fields and
processing facility, which operate under fair trade no-sweatshop
guidelines. The employees that made this product are paid more than the
Romanian average, are given opportunities for advancement within the
company, receive medical and pension coverage, and work in a facility
that is safe, well-lit, heated, and free of toxic chemicals. Ecolution
does not employ children. In addition to showing utmost concern for its
workers, Ecolution products are 100% vegan, containing no products from
animal exploitation such as leather or wool.
Ecolution's organic
hemp crops are grown in accordance with the European Union's organic
certification regulations. Unlike most hemp fabrics, the fabric in this
product was processed using a series of fine mechanical combings rather
than heavy caustic sodas and acid rinses. Non-chemical processing is
environmentally friendly, and preserves the integrity of the hemp
fiber, which contributes to a strong and durable fabric. Ecolution has
manufactured this product with rigorous attention to quality, so that
the environmental impact of production and distribution can be spread
over as many years of product life as possible. Hemp fabric is very
resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight,
abrasion, and chemicals. At the end of this product's life, the organic
hemp fabric is 100% biodegradable, unlike synthetic fabrics or tanned
leather.
Ecolution uses environmentally friendly fiber-reactive
and plant-based dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes contain no heavy metals or
known toxic substances, and meet all European Union criteria for being
environmentally friendly. Fiber-reactive dye molecules bond permanently
with fiber molecules, significantly reducing the amount of dye entering
the water system through production and home washing. Plant-based dies,
such as Oak, Bilberry, Pansy, and Oregano are sourced locally from
Romania, and are fixed using only environmentally friendly mordants
such as blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. All of Ecolution's buttons
are made from natural biodegradable materials such as uninhabited sea
shells or tagua nuts that are collected by indigenous peoples from the
Amazon rainforest. Even Ecolution's threads are selected only from
first world factories that hold Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certificates for environmentally friendly production practices.
