Ecolution
ECOLUTION has been an eco-focused hemp products manufacturer since 1990 in Transylvania, Romania, where we have developed our factory from the ground-up. Romania is an Eastern European democracy that will be entering the European Union in 2007. Our production here is politically, socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. ECOLUTION firmly believes in fair trade and has always dealt respectfully with our employees, ensuring that they have non-toxic, safe, well-heated, and well-lit working conditions -- and, of course, we do not employ children. Furthermore, our employees have opportunity for advancement, as their work is appreciated and rewarded. Because we officially employ our workers and pay all taxes for their labor, the Romanian government provides them with medical insurance and pension coverage. On the US side of our enterprise, we provide all full-time employees with health insurance.
ECOLUTION is bringing respectful and progressive employment to Romania, and we are helping these people to develop an ancient resource, produced by them for millennia, into a competitive industry for the future. Originally we began with a couple of old sewing machines and worked with vintage fabric scraps to make a line of bags and hats. The creation of this embryonic factory was financed with money earned planting trees in California. From these roots, we have grown organically into the intricately interwoven and vertically integrated hemp factory of today. Our integration of production with market provides you an authentic and quality product fashioned in a socially, politically, and ecologically responsible manner. ECOLUTION maintains its operations in harmony with tIhe preservation of our beautiful planet.
Fiber-by-fiber, yarn-by-yarn, and stitch-by-stitch we strive to produce the highest quality and most natural hempen goods. We weave and knit our fabrics in-house and create a broad selection of beautiful products both from these fabrics and directly from hemp yarns.Natural quality is our signature and the guiding principle that is infused in everything we do. Quality and ecology go hand-in-hand. The principle that well-made and long-lasting products contribute to environmental health is the philosophy that guides all of Ecolution's manufacturing decisions from our choice of trim and fabric to our quality of construction. Durability is an essential factor in determining whether a product is eco or not, because the environmental impact of its production and distribution is spread over the lifetime of that product. ECOLUTION products are eco-built to last - even maturing with age, like a fine wine that softens in time - until they finally return their biodegradable selves back to the earth from which they came.
