Sisal

Sisal is a group of fibres extracted from a type of agave plant. These fibres are known for their stiff, durable and strong properties. Other properties of sisal fibres include: 
- Rot resistance
- Moth resistance
- Antibacterial resistance
- Stain resistance. 
These properties make sisal great for use in bathrooms and homes with children and pets.

In terms of sustainability, sisal is organically grown, as no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. It is also a highly renewable plant that is resistant to drought. This level of sustainability favours it over other fibres, both natural and synthetic. As it is a natural fibre this means it easily compostable at the end of its life cycle.
