Why Fashion for Good is working with Chlorohemp Agrotech?

A significant portion of a material’s environmental footprint is determined by how its unprocessed inputs are cultivated, extracted and processed into yarns, making it a crucial area for innovation. Chlorohemp Agrotech is working towards commercialising the hemp value chain in India. Hemp cultivation uses significantly less land compared to cotton fostering reduced land-use impact. Chlorohemp grows hemp plants and converts them to bast fibres by mechanical decortication, followed by retting and degumming.
