Have you banished pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers from your home? Do you prefer clothing made from natural fibers?
You care deeply about the environment. Even the pillow you choose to sleep on each night can have environmental consequences.
Every purchase you make sits somewhere on an environmental spectrum, reducing environmental harm or contributing to a safer and healthier environment at one end and increasing environmental toxicity and degradation at the other. Pillows are no different.
The environmental impact of pillow production
Unfortunately, many of the materials and processes used to manufacture conventional pillows are at the toxic end of the spectrum.
- Conventional pillow materials are often grown on mega-farms that rely on fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, which can remain in the harvested crop.
- Monocrops often rely on farming chemicals can destroy healthy soil and run off into waterways, affecting wildlife, fish, and sea life.
- When washed, chemicals that remain in pillows can find their way into groundwater and soil.
Many chemical-filled pillows are not recyclable, at least not easily, and can take decades or more to decompose in a landfill. When you throw pillows away, even more chemicals may find their way into water sources, contaminating the environment that wildlife depends on.
