Exploring Washable Paper and Canvas: Sustainable Material Alternatives

You may have heard of canvas, you may have heard of Washable Paper, but you might not fully understand these materials. Let’s take a closer look at these unique alternative materials in this article. We hope to contribute to providing product development solutions to collectively build a sustainable future

What is Washable Paper?

Washable Paper, or WPP, is a durable and environmentally friendly material made from layers of natural cellulose fibers and latex. It serves as a perfect substitute for traditional plastic and leather materials. You can wash WPP in water without tearing or distorting the material.

The waterproof paper comes in various surface textures, with the leather-like surface being prominent.

It is gradually being widely used in the textile industry and packaging production.

Other special features of this material include lightweight, durability, 100% recyclability, and suitability for printing.

What is Canvas Fabric?

Canvas is a tightly woven fabric, thick, durable, environmentally friendly, and 100% recyclable.

Previously used for sails, tents, and artists’ painting canvases, canvas is now widely used in interior design and fashion.

Canvas can be made from cotton fibers or other base materials such as linen or hemp. Its strength, absorbency, and water resistance depend on the thickness of the base fibers and weaving techniques.

However, the common characteristic of this fabric is its durability, sturdiness, and easy maintenance.This fabric quickly gained acceptance in the fashion industry due to its high applicability. One of the most popular products made from canvas is bags and packaging.

Recognizing the outstanding advantages and flexible characteristics of these two materials, M.HAT has successfully experimented with and applied these materials as the main raw materials in our products.
