Is linen plastic-free?
Linen contains no plastic. Flax needs little water and no irrigation in the right climates — one of the lowest-impact fabrics ever made.
The old-world zero-plastic fiber
Linen comes from flax stems, largely rain-fed in northwest Europe, and every part of the plant gets used. It is stronger than cotton, gets softer with every wash, and lasts decades.
The wrinkles are a feature. Embrace them.
How Plastfri scores it
Linen scores 0/100. Beware “linen-look” or “linen-blend” listings — Plastfri reads the real composition, which is sometimes mostly viscose or polyester.
Common questions
Why is linen more expensive than cotton?
Flax processing (retting, scutching) is slower and more manual than cotton ginning. You are paying for process, not marketing.
Plastfri spots linen for you. Scores every product while you shop — covers, dims, or labels the high-plastic ones.
