Hemptown
Clothing Inc. :
Hemptown Clothing is North America's largest hemp t-shirt manufacturer,
based in Vancouver BC. They are a triple bottom line company, they
care for the environment, and human rights, while generating a profit for
their employees and shareholders. Their primary focus is working
within the imprinted sportswear market - offering an eco-alternative to
the millions of conventional cotton t-shirts sold every year. Growing the
cotton for each conventional cotton t-shirt requires 1/3lb of chemical
pesticides. Hemptown manufactures eco-friendly garments made from a blend
of 55%/45% hemp/cotton. Hemp grows vigorously, and generally doesn't
require these chemicals, so their Hemptown blend reduces pollution by over
50%. The addition of hemp also makes the garments 4 times stronger and
more durable, yet softer and more comfortable than cotton, plus hemp is
naturally UV and mildew resistant. In addition, Hemp grows in cooler
climates, and has significantly reduced water requirements than cotton.
Overall, Hemptown blended shirts use less resources, are superior in
quality, and are reasonably priced. Contact: Nina Schaffert E-mail:
