Natural fibers have been used for thousands of years to  create of myriad of useful products because they were plentiful and useful.   But why does there seem to be a rekindled interest in products made from natural fibers? The answers are quite evident:

*Protect the Planet-Synthetic Fibers create serious disposal problems for communities worldwide.  They release heavy metals and other additives into soil and groundwater when they are disposed in landfills.  Recycling can be expensive and incineration produces dangerous pollutants.  Natural Fibers are naturally and easily decomposed with the help of Fungi and bacteria.  Natural fibers can be also composted to improve soil structure

*Healthy Home-Synthetic area rugs and carpets commonly off-gas toxic harmful VOC's into the air.  These toxins can be emmitted from both the synthetic fibers and glues used in the carpet  backing.  Natural fiber carpets do not off-gas and create a helathier environment in your home.
