Hemp
Hemp is very resistant to attacks by parasites and is 100% usable: from top quality fibre to discarded products. Its fibres are naturally antibacterial and antifungal and wear exceptionally well (three times more resilient than cotton).
They are also able to absorb humidity. Hemp needs 50% less water than cotton and does not require the use of any chemical products. It also produces biomass and reduces the greenhouse e ect, given that
it is an excellent absorber of CO22
