Why is hemp apparel so desirable?

If you’re enthusiastic about green products, you must have heard of hemp fabrics because it’s one of the best things that happened to environment-friendly textiles. Backpacks made using hemp are just one of its numerous derivatives that are worth considering.

What makes them so valuable and more importantly, why should we be using hemp bags? To find out, read what we have to say and by the end, you’ll definitely be motivated to buy a hemp backpack. Let’s take a look.

What is hemp?

Hemp belongs to the family of Cannabis sativa plants. Environment-conscious manufacturers are increasingly resorting to hemp in making textiles, construction material, foods, oils and a lot more. Its fibrous stalk grows quite tall with minimal THC levels. Hemp’s use as fabric is just one of its numerous other applications.

How is Hemp fabric used?

Apart from being a self-sustaining product harvested organically and enhancing the soil it takes root in, hemp fabric is durable, strong and efficient too. Not only that, hemp is amazingly healthy for your skin and is very comfortable and healthy for you to wear, not just from the environment perspective, but for your body as well. This is why a huge portion of hemp applications are invested in apparel.

Here are some other ways in which manufacturers use hemp fabrics:

• Children’s clothing, shirts, dresses and pants
• Upholstery
• Tablecloth
• Bedroom fabrics like blankets, bedsheets and duvets.
• Sturdy ropes.

Hemp is a valuable plant that can be used up in its entirety. The seeds are edible, and so are the roots. The stem produces fibers while the leaves and stem both contribute to creating paper.

Why are hemp backpacks recommended?

The liquid absorption rate of hemp is higher than cotton helping the color to stay on the bag for a longer time. Its porous structure makes it lightweight too. Here are some of the reasons why we should pay more attention to hemp:

Strength

Hemp fabrics have almost 3 times more tensile strength than cotton, making them more durable despite being lightweight.

Resistance to weather

Hemp doesn’t allow mold to grow and repels harmful UVs, making it a great choice for outdoor use.

Versatility

There are products available that combine the properties of hemp and other fabrics like silk, cotton etc. Such blends provide versatility to the qualities of hemp.

Low water requirements

Unlike cotton, hemp doesn’t require a lot of water for growing up. In fact, it takes more than four times less water to grow hemp than it takes to grow cotton while producing cellulose in a smaller timeframe. 

Environment-friendliness

Farmers need a very small amount of time to yield a big hemp harvest without investing in fertilizers or pesticides. The process of producing hemp also provides more fiber and oxygen for every acre than trees themselves. Hemps needs less land to grow than cotton.

a blend of cotton and hemp that is very durable, breathable and washable.
