This product is made primarily from Organic cotton and Natural Rubber.
Organic cotton still has a comparatively very high water footprint and land use. Finishings and dyes on organic cotton also contribute to water and environmental pollution. However it is a lot more eco-friendly than conventional cotton. Thus it has a low eco impact.
Natural Rubber despite being biodegradable is mainly produced in Southern Asian countries, where its manufacturing is associated with comparatively high water pollution footprint and unmanaged waste. Still eco impact is low.
