kapok.
Kapok is a natural cellulose seed fiber. The kapok fiber is derived from the fruit of the kapok tree and originated from South America and Africa, although nowadays it’s mainly exported from Asia.
It is often referred to as “poor man’s silk” for its silky touch but less expensive cost.
Like other fibers listed, no pesticides or fertilizers are required for its production.
Untreated kapok is compostable. Things like dye, toxic chemicals, blended fibers and trims can hinder its compostability.
