Response To Water Shortage
Almost 36% of the world’s textiles are made from cotton yarn. However, cotton has quite devastating effects on the natural resources of water on our planet.
Farmers have been using hemp as a rotational crop for years because of its soil-protective properties. Soil erosion leads to infertile land, clogged waterways that negatively impact fish and other species, and increased risk of flooding because degraded soil cannot hold water. The long roots of hemp plants help prevent soil erosion by binding the soil together. And because no chemicals are needed for hemp to thrive, hemp helps clean up the soil.
Growing crops like hemp that require less water also helps reduce pollution and conserve fuel reserves, since no machinery is needed to water fields, drive pumps or transport water. Inefficient and wasteful water use and management in agriculture can exacerbate water scarcity and drought and cause irreparable damage to water-dependent ecosystems.
At least 25% of all pesticides used worldwide go to cotton cultivation, as well as 7% of the fertilizers. Soil washed away from cotton fields carries the remnants of these pesticides and pollutes our rivers, lakes and underground aquifers.
Hemp is pest resistant by nature, grows quickly and requires little water. No harsh chemicals are needed to make fiber. That gives us these incredibly soft, tough, good-looking shirts that are kind to our planet at the same time.
Hemp textiles are a fundamental way of representing your support for our planet and the environment. So buying hemp means taking care of your body and always supporting the growth of organic farming - organic processing - and our environment.
Make Hemp Great Again
In a world where we are expecting everything around us to be smart, why not adopt smart clothing?
We need more trees, and trees cannot grow on depleted soil. Studies show that the water footprint of hemp farming is about 1/3 of the water footprint of cotton. By buying a 100% hemp t-shirt instead of an organic cotton t-shirt, you save up to 25-35% water and avoid pesticide pollution. Yay!
Hemptees has taken steps to develop a sustainable clothing line that tackles water shortage and pollution. Our mission is to get microplastics and pesticides out of our drinking water and our oceans. To remedy water shortage, pollution and skin allergies, we opted for hemp textiles.
Hemp fabric is extremely durable, so you can only benefit from your hemp. You can wear our hemp T-shirts every day and for any occasion. They look great and offer unparalleled comfort. Hemptees are available in gender-neutral sizes and offer great value for money.

Eco- And Skin-Friendly
Hemp fabric really appealed to us because of its many skin and environmental benefits.
You can’t avoid it, but synthetic fabrics and chemical processes are used in textile products. Because of allergic skin reactions to these fabrics, it is best to wear mostly natural fabrics, such as silk, linen, cotton, cashmere, merino wool and alpaca. Until recently, hemp has now been added.
Hemptees wants to distinguish itself by focusing entirely on 100% hemp textiles and thus indirectly contribute to the water shortage problem.
We are committed to bringing reasonably priced sustainable goods to the market that are ecological. The choice to market 100% hemp as a high-quality basic T-shirt was obvious.
Start of a Small Business
Hemptees originated from a personal search for skin-friendly textiles that are also sustainable. The result is a small-scale collection with an emphasis on low water consumption.
You can wear our clothing line relaxed, sporty or casual chic to an occasion. We create your favorite ultimate sustainable basics that complete your wardrobe.
Also, one of our strengths is to make our packaging waste-free and circular. Your order is packaged plastic free and recycled materials are used.
