Quick Facts

Environmental + Quick Facts Rapidly renewable material Recycled content Heavy metal-free Formaldehyde-free Installs well with low-voc adhesive Environmental Data Composition Fiber: hemp and Lokta (or daphne plant) Thread: polyester Adhesive: water-based, formaldehyde-free, low-VOC glue Colorants: water-based, heavy metal-free dyes Backing: Kraft paper containing 80% recycled pulp, 20% virgin pulp The hemp fiber in our Braided Hemp™ line is processed, knotted, spun by hand, and created without the use of chemicals or machines. There is very little energy expended in the making of the product. Hemp fiber is transported via foot and bus, handspun and woven with hand looms, and the finished wallcovering is air dried after paper-backing process. Hemp, a rapidly renewing resource, is a fast-growing plant that has been used through the ages in production of rope and paper. Characteristics of hemp fiber are its superior strength and durability and resistance to ultraviolet light and mold. It is considered an ecologically superior material to wood pulp as the hemp plant yields 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre · four times what an average forest can yield.
