Vollebak, a company specialising in sustainable clothing, has turned to wood waste to make a black T-shirt which is not only made from wood but dyed with wood. However, it is a little pricey at $195 but that does include shipping from the UK. Source: Timberbiz
Each T-shirt is printed with the cleanest black pigment on Earth made from wood waste – a carbon negative ink that’s been in R&D for 20 years and is now safe enough to be buried in a vegetable garden.
The T-shirt isn’t just printed with wood, it’s made from it too. The company has combined eucalyptus wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests with seaweed from Iceland’s North Atlantic Fjords.
Naturally the wooden T-shirt doesn’t feel wooden to wear Vallebak says it’s soft and comfortable, with a great weight, and wears just like a regular T-shirt.
The bio-ink is made from wood waste from materials like timber, paper and flooring. Because of this wood ink, the shirt will be able to absorb CO2 as well for the next 100 years.
