Hemp
Hemp is an excellent natural material.
Hemp has natural antibacterial properties and is very strong. The material is airy and comfortable to wear and for home use. Hemp is used in the manufacture of all types of fabrics, from clothing to covers and bags, etc. These fabrics have properties that are unattainable with cotton, such as strength or antibacterial properties. 1 hectare of hemp produces 3 times more fabric than cotton with significantly lower water consumption. The fabric holds the color well even after years. Hemp fabric cools in summer, warms in winter, thanks to the air found in the pores of the fabric. This substance filters up to 95% of UV radiation and slows down the burning process. It has antibacterial properties and is well resistant to mold. For these reasons, our range of cannabis products is constantly expanding and is finding more and more fans. Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for industrial purposes. It can be used to make a wide range of products, including paper, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation and biofuel. The hemp plant is tall with long leaves and grows up to 20 feet (6 meters) in one growing season. The flowering tops and upper leaves of the plant contain the highest concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical responsible for marijuana's psychoactive effects. However, industrial hemp contains less than 0.3% THC and cannot be used as a drug. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in using hemp as a sustainable material in fashion due to its many positive properties. Hemp is a natural fiber that is strong and durable yet soft and comfortable to wear. It is also naturally resistant to mold, UV rays and pests making it ideal for outdoor clothing. Hemp fibers can also be dyed any color desired without losing their strength or quality. Another advantage of hemp over other natural fibers such as cotton is that it requires much less water to grow. This makes it an excellent choice for eco-friendly fashion brands who are looking to reduce their impact on the environment.
OCS blended
The Organic Content Standard blended (OCS blended) applies to any non-food product containing 5-95 percent organic material. It verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product. Further OCS tracks the flow of a raw material from its source to the final product. This process is then certified by an accredited third party. OCS covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of a product that contains at least 5 percent certified ‘organic’ materials. Organic Content Standard (OCS) is a voluntary certification program that verifies the organic status of products. The OCS Blended Certification Program allows manufacturers to certify products that are made with a blend of certified organic and non-organic ingredients. This program provides flexibility for manufacturers who want to use certified organic ingredients, while still being able to source some ingredients from conventional sources. The OCS Blended Certification Program has two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2. To qualify for Tier 1 certification, at least 95% of the product’s content must be certified organic. For Tier 2 certification, at least 70% of the product’s content must be certified organic. Products that are certified under the OCS Blended Certification Program can use the OCS logo on their packaging. In addition, these products will be listed in the online Organic Product Directory, which helps consumers find certified organic products easily and quickly.
