Knokkon’s goal is to keep the carbon footprint of its products as small as possible. The materials are ecological and sourced as close as possible. The nettle (urtica dioica) used in the fabric is ecologically and ethically cultivated in Germany. The fibers have been removed mechanically, without water, using an innovative method. The cotton used as a fabric binder is produced in Turkey ethically and ecologically. The yarns used in the fabric are spun in Germany and woven into fabric in Finland.

Nettle, cotton fabric is an ecological choice also because no plant protection products or pesticides are used in the cultivation of the materials. Nettle only needs natural rain to grow, which means that groundwater is also saved.
