OUR MISSION
EARTH CONSCIENCE DESIGNS
TUWA draws its inspiration from the natural world. Our products and efforts reflect our desire to preserve the earth for future generations. Striving to be a part of the solution is what TUWA is all about. Created using only quality organic cotton or the biodegradable fibers of the jute plant, TUWA products are designed for the fashionable and environmentally conscience consumer.
WHY JUTE?
Our bag line is made out of jute, which is a plant whose cultivation goes back into ancient Asian and African history. The ancient people of these areas used this plant’s natural fibers because the fibers are strong and durable, as well a biodegradable. In more recent times, it has been found to have good insulating and anti-static properties and no skin irritants. The fabric also is an excellent choice as a printed material, since it is a color and light-fast fiber. All these positive qualities have made jute useful in many applications. As a superior alternative to wood fiber, jute has helped reduce deforestation.
Although natural jute fibers were used in ancient times because they are strong and durable, in more recent times, jute fabric has also been found to be allergen free. The jute fabric TUWA uses is “food grade”, which is hydrocarbon free, non-toxic and without undesirable odors. Best of all it is biodegradable which reduces the volume of waste in our landfills.
