Meet Sustainability

Sustainability of Linen

Linen fabric is woven from the fibres of the flax plant, a highly sustainable and resilient crop. Requiring less pesticides and water than other crops, it often needs nothing more than rainfall to produce. Furthermore, there are a range of byproducts produced from the part of the plant not used to create yarn that is woven into fabric, including flaxseed and flax oil.

Aside from the environmental benefits, there are many reasons to use linen in the home. Linen is very comfortable in warm climates; it is naturally highly absorbent, meaning it can absorb a high percentage of its own weight in water without feeling wet. It is also highly breathable given its woven nature and comfortable to sleep in, for both hot and cool sleepers.

Linen is also considered to be a very long lasting fabric, although the length of its life will depend on a number of factors including the weight of the linen, and also the way it is used and cared for. The enzyme washing process used in today's linen production does accelerate the ageing process, however ensures a soft, vintage feel from first use.

SUSTAINABLE ORIGINS OF LINEN

Linen in itself is a natural fiber made from the flax plant, which is a renewable resource that grows even in poor-quality soil and usually does not require any chemical pesticides. Linen production uses the whole flax plant, leaving no waste. It is fully biodegradable and can be easily recycled, making it one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world.

OEKO-TEX® CERTIFIED

The manufacturing of textiles can be a complicated process, involving various treatments and chemicals which can be harmful to the environment, and you. Our products are Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they are absolutely absent from harmful substances and chemicals.

LOCAL & LOW EMISSIONS

All of our linens are produced locally in Lithuania, minimizing the CO2 impact of transportation. Some of the more popular products are then pre-shipped to the closest warehouse to further decrease carbon footprint from transportation.

ZERO WASTE PRIORITY

With our own in-house production facility we have direct control over the production processes, and sorting and recycling are the highest priority. Our main sustainability goal is minimizing our waste by repurposing most of the textile leftovers and using them to create smaller items, e.g. tote bags, Christmas decorations, and alike.

BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING

Our primary product packaging is 100% compostable, made out of cornstarch and PBAT, a bio-based polymer, which means it does not leave behind any damaging residues when it breaks down. The new packaging will break down in just 6 months (180 days). Also, some of our products are packed in custom linen dust bags to keep your products safe during transportation and provide you with a great reusable bag.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

While caring for the environment, Daylinen also continuously supports local communities and occasionally drives new social initiatives. Whether with our products, the help of our team members, or other resources, we regularly take time to support people in need and volunteer in different organizations.
