The power of wool 🐑 We know that an industrial

The power of wool 🐑 We know that an industrial approach to food and fibre is having devastating consequences. The good news it that we have the ability to regenerate. Animals, plants, and the land work hand in hand. The animals feed the plants and the plants feed the animals. This simple formula increases biodiversity, enriches soil, and improves watersheds. In Fashionscapes: A Circular Economy, Australian woolgrower Charles Massy shares the regenerative systems he uses, and how these systems can help heal the planet.

We are very proud to share the news that Lanaco has been chosen as the Official supplier of masks to the New Zealand Olympic Team! Designed and made in New Zealand, the Lanaco masks are made of New Zealand wool. Lanaco's Helix filter works with the structure of the wool fibre itself to offer easy breathability + protection. There's one for the medics/high risk situations and one for the team members (protection to ASTM F3502-21). Lanaco's masks have also been chosen for NASA missions. It is great to see them at the Olympic games! #wool #newzealand #newzealandwool #olympics #masks #olympics2020 #teamnewzealand
