Hey, guess what? The wood pulp we use is made from fresh spruce wood—totally natural and free from chemical additives. It's produced purely physically, which makes it more eco-friendly than cane since spruce is locally sourced and renewable.
Here's how it works: sustainable tree trunks are pressed against rotating stone rollers with water. This process breaks down the wood into cellulose fibers while keeping other components like lignin, the wood's natural adhesive.
You might notice a light yellow-brown color on the basket—that's the lignin showing its natural state. The yellowing happens due to heat during drying or sunlight exposure, but it's not a defect. In fact, it's a proof that the wood pulp is as natural as it gets!
