It\u2019s natural, durable, absorbent (which means it\u2019s easy to dye), and most importantly, comfortable. In the 1970\u2019s, hippies preferred locally-grown, handmade &amp; pesticide-free products. Now a days, others use eco-friendly, plant-based materials like; bamboo, hemp, and hemp. To make many items like bamboo toothbrushes, bowls and eating utensils. Plant-based isn\u2019t only environmentally friendly, but also has a look &amp; feel that is unique + stylish.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h2>What Can You Gain?<\/h2><p><\/p><p>Benefits:<\/p><ul><li><p>biodegradable<\/p><\/li><li><p>recyclable (<em>have you tried our Remill clothing?<\/em>)<\/p><\/li><li><p>moisture absorbent<\/p><\/li><li><p>more breathability<\/p><\/li><li><p>save money &amp; water<\/p><\/li><li><p>low environmental impact<\/p><\/li><li><p>better for health<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p>Working with Teemill, we\u2019ve been able to be apart of the circular clothing supply chain.

It means we save the environment from landfills too.<\/p><p>Consider the cost of trash on a global scale - not just environmental, but material and financial, too.
