From clear-cut to clear conscience

Kenaf is a 4,000-year-old crop with roots in ancient Africa. It is related to the hibiscus genus, and a cousin to both cotton and okra. Kenaf grows quickly and is capable of rising to heights of 12-14 feet in as little as four to five months.

Tree-Free Greetings has embarked on a plan to make 100% of their gorgeous greeting cards out of kenaf, necessitating no deforestation in order to produce their cards. Further, kenaf fibers are recyclable, making kenaf a prime renewable resource.
