Its fiber is similar to linen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years on almost every continent.<\/strong> It is thought to be the oldest cultivated plant in the world. Hemp fabrics dating from around 8,000 BC have been found, representing one of the oldest examples of industry. Until the 1920s, 80% of clothing was made with hemp. Even the Levi Strauss jeans were initially made with a light canvas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Currently, more than 30 countries grow this plant. Most producers are in China, Canada, Chile, Korea and Europe (especially in Eastern European countries such as Romania, Hungary and Russia, as well as in France and Italy).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>In 1940 Italy dedicated 90,000 hectares of its territory to the cultivation of hemp<\/strong>, then the cultivation was abandoned. From 1940 to 1970, the surfaces fell to around 900 hectares. Since 2016, the year in which cultivation became legal, the amount of land dedicated to this plant has grown to <strong>4,000 hectares today<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<p>The main world producer is China, from which more than half of the production comes. Here chemical methods are used, while in Europe cleaner biological technologies have been introduced. You don&#8217;t get softness and the totally white color of cotton with neither of the two methods, that&#8217;s why hemp is often mixed with cotton, a not very sustainable fabric. <strong>It is therefore better to check the label when buying a piece of clothing in this material.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Hemp has really <strong>many positive aspects<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>It is <strong>biodegradable<\/strong>, unlike synthetic fibers, so it does not pollute once its life cycle is over, as happens with petroleum-derived fabrics.<\/li>\r\n<li>Its cultivation <strong>does not require pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, GMO seeds or chemicals<\/strong>. It is densely cultivated, suffocating competing plants by blocking sunlight with its broad leaves, so no strong chemical herbicides are needed. In addition, it naturally reduces pests, making pesticides superfluous. Currently a large quantity of hemp is cultivated organically, without the need for any synthetic agricultural additives.<\/li>\r\n<li>It <strong>needs very little water<\/strong> and grows rapidly using 50% less water than cotton.<\/li>\r\n<li>It <strong>requires a relatively limited amount of land <\/strong>to cultivate. It has a fiber yield that reaches up to twice as much as cotton: one hectare of hemp produces the same fiber that can be obtained from four hectares of trees or two hectares of cotton.<\/li>\r\n<li>It can be grown in every season and at each growth cycle <strong>it is renewed by returning 60-70% of the necessary nutrients<\/strong> that it takes from the soil: it gradually matures and the falling foliage decomposes nourishing the soil. Its long roots aerate the soil for the benefit of future crops, eliminate toxins and also prevent soil erosion. It is best used in a crop in rotation, with soy, sorghum, etc. The root system and the foliage return the nitrogen that is so important for increasingly exploited land.<\/li>\r\n<li>Hemp plants <strong>absorb more carbon dioxide than trees<\/strong> and can remove toxins from the soil through the roots. Hemp provides an excellent habitat for wildlife and flowers are a good source of pollen for bees.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Nothing about hemp is wasted<\/strong> in the production process: the seeds are used in food or supplements, flowers and leaves in cosmetics, stems in the production of natural fibre.<\/li>\r\n<li>It keeps the wearer <strong>warm in winter and cool in summer<\/strong>. Hemp fibres have the best heat capacity ratio compared to all other fibres, creating a personal air conditioning system.<\/li>\r\n<li>It is antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-odor, hypoallergenic, absorbs body moisture and does not irritate the skin.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Protects against UV rays<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n<li>It is resilient, <strong>durable<\/strong>, flexible, it does not lose shape even after multiple washes. Hemp is also naturally <strong>resistant to mold, wear, dirt, shrinkage and sun damage<\/strong>. Hemp fibres are more resistant than cotton, as they travel the length of the stem which can reach up to about half a meter while those of cotton tend to be only a few centimetres long. This is why hemp sacks last longer and the canvas was used in the navy and by fishermen for the first sails, ropes and nets. These are important qualities when choosing a wrapper to carry the items we hold most, such as computer bags or our personal belongings when traveling.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Hemp is therefore a fabric that we can consider sustainable. Do we want to find flaws? Like flax, hemp is easily rubbed, it can be a bit rough, it absorbs little color. For these reasons hemp is sometimes mixed with other fabrics, so as we said at the beginning it is better to check on the label before buying!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" class=\"wp-image-1840\" src=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1840\" data-link=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/?attachment_id=1840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown-75x75.jpeg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Foto: canapapuglia.it<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" class=\"wp-image-1841\" src=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unknown-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1841\" data-link=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/?attachment_id=1841\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Foto: agricanapa.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"408\" class=\"wp-image-1843\" src=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Img-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1843\" data-link=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/?attachment_id=1843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Img-1.jpg 613w, https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Img-1-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Img-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Foto: canapaindustriale.it<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italiano\/English below pictures \u00a0Puoi ascoltare qui l&#8217;articolo: Canapa Ci chiediamo se davvero questa fibra sia sostenibile e da inserire nel nostro guardaroba pi\u00f9 responsabile.

Protegge\u00a0dai raggi UV. \u00c8 resiliente,\u00a0duratura, flessibile, non perde forma anche dopo pi\u00f9 lavaggi. La canapa \u00e8 anche naturalmente\u00a0resistente alla muffa, all\u2019usura, allo sporco, al restringimento e ai danni del sole. Le fibre di canapa sono pi\u00f9 resistenti del cotone, poich\u00e9 percorrono la lunghezza del gambo che pu\u00f2 arrivare fino a circa mezzo metro mentre quelle del cotone tendono ad essere lunghe solo pochi centimetri. Per questo i sacchi di canapa durano di pi\u00f9 e la tela era utilizzata in marina e dai pescatori per le prime vele, per corde e reti. Queste sono qualit\u00e0 importanti quando si sceglie un involucro per trasportare gli oggetti a cui pi\u00f9 teniamo, come borse porta computer o i nostri effetti personali in viaggio. La canapa \u00e8 quindi un tessuto che possiamo considerare sostenibile. Vogliamo trovarne difetti? Come il lino, la canapa si stropiccia facilmente, pu\u00f2 essere un po\u2019 ruvida, assorbe poco colore. Per questi motivi la canapa \u00e9 a volte mescolata con altri tessuti, per cui come dicevamo all\u2019inizio meglio verificare in etichetta prima di acquistare! &nbsp; English &#8211;\u00a0Hemp: is it really a sustainable fibre to be included in our more responsible wardrobe? We wonder if this fibre is really sustainable and if should be included in our more responsible wardrobe. Hemp is a type of &#8220;raffia fibre&#8221; which means that it is one of several natural fibres derived from the stem of the plant, such as flax, jute and nettle. Its fiber is similar to linen. Hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years on almost every continent. It is thought to be the oldest cultivated plant in the world. Hemp fabrics dating from around 8,000 BC have been found, representing one of the oldest examples of industry. Until the 1920s, 80% of clothing was made with hemp. Even the Levi Strauss jeans were initially made with a light canvas. Currently, more than 30 countries grow this plant. Most producers are in China, Canada, Chile, Korea and Europe (especially in Eastern European countries such as Romania, Hungary and Russia, as well as in France and Italy). In 1940 Italy dedicated 90,000 hectares of its territory to the cultivation of hemp, then the cultivation was abandoned. From 1940 to 1970, the surfaces fell to around 900 hectares. Since 2016, the year in which cultivation became legal, the amount of land dedicated to this plant has grown to 4,000 hectares today. The main world producer is China, from which more than half of the production comes. Here chemical methods are used, while in Europe cleaner biological technologies have been introduced. You don&#8217;t get softness and the totally white color of cotton with neither of the two methods, that&#8217;s why hemp is often mixed with cotton, a not very sustainable fabric. It is therefore better to check the label when buying a piece of clothing in this material. Hemp has really many positive aspects: It is biodegradable, unlike synthetic fibers, so it does not pollute once its life cycle is over, as happens with petroleum-derived fabrics. Its cultivation does not require pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, GMO seeds or chemicals. It is densely cultivated, suffocating competing plants by blocking sunlight with its broad leaves, so no strong chemical herbicides are needed. In addition, it naturally reduces pests, making pesticides superfluous. Currently a large quantity of hemp is cultivated organically, without the need for any synthetic agricultural additives. It needs very little water and grows rapidly using 50% less water than cotton. It requires a relatively limited amount of land to cultivate. It has a fiber yield that reaches up to twice as much as cotton: one hectare of hemp produces the same fiber that can be obtained from four hectares of trees or two hectares of cotton. It can be grown in every season and at each growth cycle it is renewed by returning 60-70% of the necessary nutrients that it takes from the soil: it gradually matures and the falling foliage decomposes nourishing the soil. Its long roots aerate the soil for the benefit of future crops, eliminate toxins and also prevent soil erosion. It is best used in a crop in rotation, with soy, sorghum, etc. The root system and the foliage return the nitrogen that is so important for increasingly exploited land. Hemp plants absorb more carbon dioxide than trees and can remove toxins from the soil through the roots. Hemp provides an excellent habitat for wildlife and flowers are a good source of pollen for bees. Nothing about hemp is wasted in the production process: the seeds are used in food or supplements, flowers and leaves in cosmetics, stems in the production of natural fibre. It keeps the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer. Hemp fibres have the best heat capacity ratio compared to all other fibres, creating a personal air conditioning system. It is antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-odor, hypoallergenic, absorbs body moisture and does not irritate the skin. Protects against UV rays. It is resilient, durable, flexible, it does not lose shape even after multiple washes. Hemp is also naturally resistant to mold, wear, dirt, shrinkage and sun damage. Hemp fibres are more resistant than cotton, as they travel the length of the stem which can reach up to about half a meter while those of cotton tend to be only a few centimetres long. This is why hemp sacks last longer and the canvas was used in the navy and by fishermen for the first sails, ropes and nets. These are important qualities when choosing a wrapper to carry the items we hold most, such as computer bags or our personal belongings when traveling. Hemp is therefore a fabric that we can consider sustainable. Do we want to find flaws? Like flax, hemp is easily rubbed, it can be a bit rough, it absorbs little color. For these reasons hemp is sometimes mixed with other fabrics, so as we said at the beginning it is better to check on the label before buying!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[923,914],"tags":[1174,1371,1175,1372],"class_list":["post-13144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fabrics-tessuti-en","category-fashion-moda-en","tag-canapa-en","tag-fibre-naturali-en","tag-hemp-en","tag-natural-fibres-en"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hemp.jpg","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
