- More than 50% water savings occur compared to cotton
- No chemicals, wet processing, pesticides, or herbicides are used
- Hemp grows in a variety of soils with excellent biodegradability, is antimicrobial, has high tensile strength, moisture regain content and tenacity
- Hemp and natural indigo crops have high rates of carbon sequestration, which ultimately benefits the environment and improves the soil’s health for other crops (climate positive)
Cone’s U.S. Hemp Collection includes a range of fabrics featuring classic 3×1 and comfort stretch to modern workwear constructions. The collection further expands upon Cone’s sustainability and traceability practices, driving the industry’s future.
The proximity of the hemp, indigo, and cotton crops in the U.S. to the company’s mills in Mexico is also key in creating the most negligible environmental impact and footprint possible. Founded in 2014, BastCore is a leader in the natural fiber supply chain and the creator of the patented hemp technology that is helping to spur more efficient and broader use capabilities for the original fabric of America: HEMP.
