Why are our goods green?
Our art and design is inspired by nature and we are working to preserve it by developing a well designed line of durable home accessories out of organic, sustainable or recycled materials made using environmentally friendly methods. We hope our efforts contribute to a cleaner, greener earth.
Organic & Sustainable Materials
Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial and is grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Bamboo helps reduce carbon dioxide gases blamed for global warming. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing and most replenishable plants on earth.
Organic Cotton Fabric
Conventional cotton is heavily sprayed with pesticides that pollute our environment with carcinogens. Organic cotton is grown with natural fertilizers and is free from toxic chemicals. Organic farming methods employ ecological and sustaininable techniques which work to preserve nature's delicate balance.
Organic Kapok Fiber
Naturally silky hypoallergenic Kapoc fiber is extracted from the seedpod of the Kapok tree growing in tropical rain forests. The Kapok tree supports entire ecosystems, helps preservation of the rain forest and provides employment for indegenous peoples. Called nature's down, this ecologically harvested fiber is soft to the touch making it a premium luxurious fill for pillows.
Ecofiber
Soft and fluffy hypoallergenic ecofiber is made from recycled plastic bottles rescued from landfills. Reusing conserves our raw materials, saves energy, generates less waste and pollution and reduces our carbon footprint on the environment.
Environmentally Friendly Methods
Printing
We use a rich saturated color palette in our designs. We work with artisans skilled in the intricacies of color to carefully handprint each EcoArt product with our vibrant bold designs. We use water-based environmentally safe inks in all of our products. Water-based inks are non-toxic, lead-free and do not contain heavy metals, ozone depleting chemicals or dangerous solvents.
Fabrication
Our EcoArt line is made by small American companies using the most low-impact, non-toxic manufacturing methods available to create beautiful, durable, long-lasting products.
Wabisabi Green EcoArt products are designed, printed and fabricated in the USA.
