| Organic Cotton | Organic Textile Association While cotton is natural, the way it’s conventionally grown is not. It is usually harvested by killing it with herbicides first. To find Organic Cotton in Europe, look for bio, kba, okeo (which are all designations for Organic). |
Baumwolle – German Algodon – Spanish Coton – French Cotone – Italian Algadao – Portuguese |
| Hemp | Hemp is usually grown without herbicides or pesticides, since it grows better that way (doesn’t everything?). Some hemp in Europe is certified organic. Industrial Hemp is not a drug. | Hanf – German Canamo – Spanish Chanvre – French Canapa – Italian Maconha – Portuguese |
| Silk | Silk comes from the larvae (worm) of several varieties of moths. In normal silk production, the worm is killed. “Vegetarian”, “Peace”, “Tussah”, “Wild”, or “Thai” silk may not kill the worm in the production of silk. | Seide – German Seda – Spanish / Portuguese Soie – French Seta – Italian |
| Wool | Wool comes from various animals, but usually from Sheep. Wool can also come from Goats (Mohair, Cashmere), Llama, Alpaca, Vicuna, Guanaco, Rabbits (Angora), Camels, and Yaks. Sheep Wool contains Lanolin. Wool from Llama, Alpaca, Vicuna, Guacano, and most other animals contains little if any Lanolin. | Wollen – German Lanas – Spanish Laines – French Lana – Italian Las – Portuguese |
| Tencel | Tencel comes from wood pulp and is a brand name. Lyocell is the generic term. Tencel is not always sustainably produced. | |
| Linen / Flax | Linen comes from the Flax plant. | Leinen – German Lino – Spanish Toile – French Tela – Italian Linho – Portuguese |
| Bamboo | Bamboo is a grass which grows very fast and is usually sustainably harvested. The species of Bamboo which is used for Bamboo fabric is not eaten by Pandas. Although the process for turning bamboo into fiber is similar to that of turning wood into rayon, many manufacturers are now using eco-friendly processes to create the bamboo fabric, rather than the harsh chemical processes used to create rayon. | Bambus – German Bambu – Spanish Bambou – French Bambu – Italian Bambu – Portuguese |
| Soy | Soy comes from Soy Beans. Soy beans, if not organic, are usually heavily pesticided. Common Soy products are Soy Milk, Tofu, and Tempeh. | Sojabohnenöl – German Soja – Spanish Soja – French Soia – Italian |
| Leather / Skin / Hide | Leather is usually cured by tanning with chemicals. Leather used to be tanned using tanic acid obtained from tree bark. Look for natural or vegetable tanned leather. Leather usually comes from cows, but can come from other animals. | Leder – German Cuero – Spanish Cuir – French Cuoio – Italian Couro – Portuguese |
