Why Natural Fibers Instead of Synthetic?

Natural fibers are fibers that come from natural sources such as plants, animals, or minerals and can be used directly without further meddling. Chemical applications can and should therefore be dispensed within the manufacturing process. Although innovative natural fibers have constantly come onto the market in recent years, only a few materials are considered to count as the main natural fibers:

Wool
Cotton
Hemp
Bamboo
Silk
Linen

All natural materials are better for you, and also for your pet. These are some reasons that toys, clothing, and bedding made of natural materials are the best choice for your pet:

1. Environmental friendliness

Natural fibers are much more sustainable than synthetic ones. In production, cultivation, and manufacturing, they do not harm our environment. Moreover, they are not hazardous to the health of the people who work with them. But even after processing, they are much more environmentally friendly than man-made fibers. Since synthetic fabrics like polyester release micro plastics into the water during the washing process, synthetics harm not only nature and wildlife, but also us humans with regard to the water cycle.

2. Biodegradable

In their basic state, all natural fibers are 100% biodegradable. This means that through the decomposition process, the material completely dissolves into carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and further minerals. The fiber leaves no waste and reconnects with nature.

3. Longer durability

Natural fibers are usually more durable and therefore last longer than synthetic fabrics. So, thanks to their high durability, you can use them frequently without them being damaged or showing any defects. However, it is also important to take proper care.

4. Skin compatibility

Materials such as wool, cotton, hemp, bamboo, silk, and linen are particularly friendly to the skin and even suitable for allergy sufferers. Since natural fibers usually have better air permeability and breathability, bacteria are less likely to accumulate. Thus, your pet’s skin is not only protected but also unpleasant odors are prevented.
