Why choose Irish Linen

Sustainability 

Linen has some strong attributes that
place it high on the list of eco-friendly fabrics.
With this as our starting point, we have formulated a simple approach to sustainability.

Carbon capture
Each hectare of flax (the plant from which linen yarn is made) captures 3.7 tonnes of CO2.

Maintains Soil Quality
Flax works as a rotation crop; when swapped on land every 6 - 7 years it can boost soil quality,
and increase yields of the next crop.

Reduced Water Use
If linen was replaced with cotton cultivation it would require an extra 650.000 million cubic meters of water. Flax crops do not require irrigation (extra water), the crop can grow with rain fall alone.

Today over 200,000 acres of organic flax are grown in Europe. Providing traceability from fiber to woven fabric (GOTS label).

Natural coloured Linen is fully biodegradable
