What Is Ramie Fiber and Where Does It Come From?
Ramie fiber is a natural textile fiber derived from the stalks of the ramie plant (Boehmeria nivea), a member of the nettle family. It has been cultivated for thousands of years, primarily in China, India, and Southeast Asia. The plant produces long, silky fibers that are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to mildew and bacteria.
The Sustainability of Bar Soap
The environmental impact of plastic waste is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Globally, an estimated 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually, much of which ends up in landfills, oceans, and ecosystems. In this context, adopting more sustainable habits, such as using bar soap instead of liquid soap, presents a simple yet impactful way to reduce plastic waste. Bar soap offers significant environmental benefits, including minimal packaging, reduced carbon emissions, and a smaller ecological footprint.
