WOOL - THE ORIGINAL CIRCULAR FIBRE Circularity has

WOOL - THE ORIGINAL CIRCULAR FIBRE
Circularity has been wired into the very DNA of this fibre.
Made of protein, not plastic, wool biodegrades in soil and in water. Unlike synthetic fibres, wool does not contribute to the mounting issue of plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills. Wool is a renewable resource that can be harvested annually without harming the animals or the environment.
At end of use, wool garments regularly find their way into the second-hand market. Wool also has a long tradition of recycling with established pathways.
