If you're planning on renovating your bathroom (in a big way or in more of a "replacing the towels" way) make it a greenovation. For all things material, whether it's towels, bath mats or a fluffy robe, choose organic cotton or bamboo so that you're not exposing yourself or any part of the earth to pesticides. Say goodbye to plastic loofah sponges---they get funky fast anyway---and opt for hempwash cloths, back scrubbers and scrub gloves; they'll clean even better and have antibacterial agents. For others accessories, from toothbrush holders to towel racks, go for items that are made with sustainable materials like recycled metal or bamboo. Green product giant Gaiam has plenty of great items to outfit an entire bathroom and Turning Life has you covered for all things organic cotton.
Hemp Shower Curtainby Bean ProductsHand-crafted here in the USA of extremely strong, durable and beautiful Romanian hemp fabric. The curtain will stop water from spraying outside your shower without a plastic liner. This keeps unnatural plastics out of our landfills. The shower curtain will get wet, but will not leak through. The hemp shower curtain will rapidly air dry which helps prevents mold growth associated with plastic liners.
Our hemp fabric is made from Romanian grown hemp which is grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The hemp plants use less water than cotton plants and give a greater fiber yield per acre. The entire hemp plant can be used by people and industry. Other practical uses are: rope/cord, fabric, fiber, paper, medicine, cosmetics, paint, biomass fuel, oil, and food.
The growing, processing, and weaving of this hemp fabric provides needed employment to hundreds if not thousands of people in this formerly deprived country.
Our hemp shower curtain has a natural resistance to mildew and bacteria, and can be machine washed to clean any grime buildup. After machine washing simply hang the curtain up to dry, any wrinkles will disappear during showering. You may find it necessary to use a natural mildew preventative from time to time depending upon climate and your shower's natural ventilation.
We use sturdy and rustproof nickel plated brass grommets which will enable your curtain to last for years.
Using your hemp shower curtain demonstrates your concern for our planet's environment by reducing chemical and plastic use, reducing landfill mess, as well as beautifying your bathroom environment by bringing nature into your everyday life.
Size: 72 x 72 inches
Note: This curtain is NOT guaranteed against mildew, with heavy use the curtain can stay wet and mildew like any other surface, at the first sign of mildew the curtain needs to be washed and dried thoroughly to prevent staining.

Hemp is harvested for its fibers for hemp clothing and seeds for hemp oil. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confounded with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa. Smoking large amounts of hemp flowers can produce a headache but not a high!
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a reduced impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production.
