United by a Common Cause
Flags were once crafted from natural fibers. Think cotton and wool. By the mid-20th century, our society turned to synthetics — new technology that came mass produced. The lower price turned out to have a high cost. Fifty years later, this innovation leaves a legacy of microplastics polluting our planet.
Better Flags is the sister company of Hemptex, the Dutch manufacturer of regenerative hemp flags. Both companies are united by a common cause: to pivot the flag industry toward sustainability. Hemp flags represent the premium, regenerative option, while CiCLO®-enhanced Better Flags offer a cost-efficient path towards the same goal – transforming flags from long-lasting waste into materials that return naturally to the environment.
Our Solution to Microplastics
Microplastics harm ecosystems and show up in our bodies. Currently the world is learning about the consequences: inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and organ dysfunction in animals and likely in humans as well. Polyester flags, even when made from recycled PET, are part of this problem, with over 150 million flags purchased in the US alone.
Enhanced with CiCLO®, Better Flags biodegrade in approximately three years. This technology is revolutionary, and validated by independent laboratories using recognized methods, including ASTM D6691, D5988, D5511, and D5210. It also holds the highly coveted OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification.
