Ramie is a bast fibre from the nettle family, known for its strength and silky texture. It grows quickly and requires few inputs, making it a promising low-impact crop. Ramie fibres are often blended with other natural fibres like cotton to enhance texture and durability in textile products.
The processing stage traditionally involves degumming to remove gums and pectins surrounding the fibre that must be removed for textile use. However, these processes can employ harsh chemicals and energy-intensive processes.
Better alternatives, such as mechanical processing and enzymatic degumming, exist and show great promise, but have not been widely adopted in commercial production.
Material sourcing and treatments often carry hidden social, environmental, and animal welfare risks. We help brands understand what they're using, and what it means.
Our team know that it isn’t just about choosing materials that tick boxes, it’s also selecting materials that feel, behave and look the way they should.
