Why We Love It
Skilfully woven by hand in Bangladesh from natural seagrass and coloured jute; both renewable, sustainable and biodegradable materials. The jute is coloured using azo free dyes. Each tablemat features a little fabric ReSpiin label stitched onto the edge. Approximately 28cm diameter. Due to the hand made nature of this product, sizes may vary slightly. Seagrass grows very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers. Once mature, the grass is cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. Dried seagrass is durable and moisture resistant. Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed. Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable. The producer of the tablemats in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic, and they pay a living wage to all employees.
