Recycled Cotton
Physical Properties
Soft, pliable, and easy to manipulate. Recycled cotton maintains excellent workability while reducing environmental impact compared to virgin materials.
- Tensile Strength: 3.0 - 5.0 g/denier
- Elongation: 7% - 10%
- Diameter: 0.5mm - 2mm
- Color: Natural beige to white
Environmental Impact
Recycled cotton reduces water consumption by approximately 80% compared to virgin cotton production. The material retains its structural integrity while minimizing resource use.
Best Applications
Ideal for intricate patterns requiring fine manipulation. Perfect for wall hangings, plant hangers, and detailed decorative pieces where softness and pliability are priorities.
Jute
Physical Properties
Natural golden hue with excellent load-bearing capacity. Jute fibers provide both visual warmth and structural reliability for large-scale installations.
- Tensile Strength: 3.5 - 6.0 g/denier
- Elongation: 1.5% - 2.5%
- Diameter: 1mm - 4mm
- Color: Natural golden brown
Environmental Impact
Jute is a rapidly renewable resource, with crops maturing in 4-6 months. The plant requires minimal pesticides and improves soil quality through crop rotation.
Best Applications
Perfect for large-scale installations where both strength and visual impact are required. Excellent for commercial spaces, lobbies, and statement pieces.
Hemp
Physical Properties
Exceptional durability and minimal environmental impact. Hemp fibers offer the highest tensile strength among our natural materials, making them ideal for permanent installations.
- Tensile Strength: 5.8 - 6.8 g/denier
- Elongation: 1.5% - 2.0%
- Diameter: 1mm - 5mm
- Color: Natural beige to light brown
Environmental Impact
Hemp cultivation requires no pesticides and improves soil health through phytoremediation. The plant sequesters carbon dioxide at a rate higher than most agricultural crops.
Best Applications
Used for permanent installations where longevity is paramount. Ideal for commercial spaces, public art, and pieces intended to last decades with minimal maintenance.
