4. Hemp
A fast-growing crop, hemp uses less land than other fibres like cotton to yield the same amount of fabric. The deep roots help prevent soil erosion and the plant doesn’t deplete the dirt of nutrients, leaving the ground in good condition for succeeding crops. Plus, the versatile hemp fibre makes an extremely durable fabric that is often bleached in an environmentally friendly way, without the use of chlorine.
