About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though sheep wool is the most common animal fiber, there is a range of others used in the fashion and textile industry, among them mohair, cashmere, and alpaca. These fibers are fine, soft, breathable, elastic, and resistant to wrinkling and stretching. Mohair comes from angora goats and is mostly produced in South Africa. Cashmere is derived from cashmere goats, mostly in China and Mongolia. Alpacas are native to Peru, but there are a small number in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Challenges<\/h6>\n

Animal welfare and environmental impact are key challenges in animal fiber production.<\/h2>\n

Challenges to animal welfare can come from mismanagement and mishandling, for example when animals are combed or sheared to remove their fiber. Another welfare risk comes from animal husbandry procedures that are routinely carried out as part of livestock management. In terms of environmental impact, many animals used for their fibers produce the greenhouse gas methane as part of their digestive process. Fiber-producing animals are also generally managed in pasture-based systems, where overgrazing can be an issue.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Solutions<\/h6>\n

We\u2019re aiming to improve the health of animals and the land.<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re supporting the fashion and textiles industry in switching to preferred materials that have better environmental and social outcomes than their conventional alternatives. We\u2019re pressing the industry to raise its standards in respect of animal welfare, while preserving the health of the land. This means contributing to measurable beneficial impacts too.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
