There are many reasons why alpacas are being considered the "greenest" animal on the planet! Adding clothing made from natural Alpaca Fiber to your closet and supporting companies that utilize these sustainable practices can help reduce your carbon footprint in more ways than one:
Sustainable farming practices:
Natural and Biodegradable:
Alpaca wool is a natural fiber that is biodegradable because it doesn't require the use of harmful chemicals to process. This means that when you're done with your alpaca clothing, it will naturally break down and won't contribute to landfill waste!
Long-Lasting and Durable:
Alpaca wool is known for its durability and longevity. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can quickly wear out and end up in the landfill, alpaca clothing can last for years with proper care. This means you'll need to buy fewer clothes over time, reducing your overall environmental impact.
Carbon Sequestration:
Alpacas are also good for the environment because they are excellent at sequestering carbon. They graze on rotating pastures, which helps keep the soil healthy and allows it to absorb more carbon from the atmosphere. Additionally, when they eat, they cut the grass with their teeth rather than pulling the grass out from the root which helps to promote plant growth.
By choosing alpaca clothing over other materials, you're making a more environmentally conscious decision. Not only is alpaca wool sustainable and biodegradable, but it's also long-lasting and can help reduce your overall carbon footprint!
