Why Hemp Fiber Is Sustainable? Here Is The 7 Facts That Will Make You To Choose The Clothes Made Of Hemp Fabric
Hemp clothing is gaining popularity again, with time. Due to its better durability and other features, it is being adopted by many as an alternative to different fabrics.

1. Porous and Breathable than Cotton

It is known that cotton is breathable; we prefer it in the summer just because of this quality. But did you know that Hemp fibers are even more porous than cotton fiber, therefore allowing more breathability? This also means that hemp clothing does not take as much time to dry as it is rumored to.

Hemp clothing also tends to become softer with time and washing. Because of this feature, hemp clothing does not create a rough texture as cotton or other materials do after wash. This is because, unlike cotton, hemp clothing does not accumulate lint on itself, which is responsible for the rough texture of the clothing.

2. Durable Than Cotton

Hemp clothing is more durable than cotton. The fibers of hemp do not break with washing or wearing; they get softer with time but do not tear up as cotton does. It is for this reason that hemp ropes became widely used during WW2 by the US army!

Hemp fibers are bonded together closer than any other, and it is suitable for anything that needs to be strong and durable. Hemp is widely used to make ropes and clothing due to its durability.

3. Eco-Friendly

Cannabis clothing is eco-friendly. How? As it happens, growing hemp is far less harmful to the environment as compared to cotton. Cotton cultivation exhausts the soil of the land it is grown on.

Also, cannabis cultivation uses almost 50% less water to be turned into fiber. Cotton takes up a vast part of the world’s agricultural water use and therefore is making a contribution in the already rising water crisis.

If in future time cotton is swapped by hemp, one thing that can be assured is less water usage, and that is a much-needed step.

4. Pesticide-Free

Hemp farming does not use pesticides. Cannabis farming for hemp fibers does not require the spraying or infesting of pesticides on the crop or in the soil, therefore saving the crop and the soil from harm.

Cannabis has the potential to grow up without any use of pesticides, which makes it a much better choice on health parameters. Hemp clothing entirely removes the risk of getting in touch with any harmful pesticides or its aftermath
