What linen is

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.

Zero plastic, fully biodegradable, and one of the lowest-impact fabrics ever made. The wrinkles are a feature.

How Plastfri scores it

Linen scores 0/100. Beware “linen-look” and “linen-blend” listings — Plastfri reads the real composition, which is sometimes mostly viscose or polyester.

The same weight applies everywhere: a product's score is the percentage-weighted plastic share of its listed fiber composition, and every weight is public.
