Hemp is right now the most sustainable way to fabricate textiles for flags. It is also used to feed livestock. It is made out of the fibers from the stems of the Cannabis sativa which makes it very unique and resistant to mold, mildew or other microbes that could be harmful. In addition, this fabric is a 100% bio-degradable, recyclable and there is no need for irrigation. When growing the plants, there is no pesticides or herbicides needed to grow them or to keep them from insects, due to its resistance, durability, and their immense speed of growth.

Most flags (and material in general) are made out of polyester and nylon, which are synthetic fabrics. It is a big problem to the environment due to the release of micro-plastic from the fabric into the air. This “exhaust” of plastic poses a threat to the nature and to our health which is why Ruffin Flags is always looks for sustainable alternatives and wants to reduce the global use of this synthetic, plastic fabric. Hemp is even environmentally friendlier than natural fabric such as cotton which consumes a huge amount of water during the growing process and is said to last 10 times longer than any cotton fabric. The goal with Ruffin Flags is also to make this fabric become more popular and to raise awareness of it’s existence.
