The Mariposa hammock is incredibly sturdy. Even in size L, let all your little ones climb in and go with them too! New this year with an original color combination: orange, red, and brown. A very warm ensemble, just like the embers of a BARBACOA (barbecue)!

"Ecotec" recycled cotton is a highly ecological material. It is made from clean scraps from various textile industries (mainly clothing), then sorted by color before being recycled and spun. Because it is sorted by color, it is neither bleached with chlorine (necessary before any cotton dyeing) nor dyed using chemical products.
Here is the calculation of the ecological impact YOU will make with the purchase of this hammock:
Knowing that the hammock fabric uses 1 kg of recycled cotton, the generated impact is:
Regarding cotton cultivation (one of the most widespread and harmful crops to the environment), here is what is needed to obtain 1 kg of raw cotton:
- 12.5 m² of cultivated land.
- 10,500 liters of water.
- 1.55 kgs of pesticides.
Regarding the dyeing of cotton. When cotton is harvested, it must be cleaned, bleached, and finally dyed. Here is what is needed to obtain 1 kg of dyed cotton:
- 30 grams of bleach (Chlorine or hydrogen peroxide)
- 120 liters of water (20l for bleaching, 80l for dyeing, 10l for fixing agent, and 10l for softener). The 80l for dyeing are heated to about 90°C depending on the colors.
- In varying small amounts, the following chemicals: industrial dye and fixer, softener, color regulator, sodium carbonate, and detergents.
The only downside to recycled cotton is that the yarn gains its strength thanks to a polyester filament (which represents 20% of the total weight) that runs through the yarn to allow it to be woven on powerful machines that weave tight meshes and fabrics with high grams per square meter. Petroleum-based polyester is not considered an ecological product, yet it is very durable. What is not ecological is our behavior. Indeed, it is so economical that we neglect it by consuming too much (packaging, bags) and throwing it away too easily. But that is another debate….
The "Ecotec" recycled cotton in each of our hammocks therefore represents a small gesture for the planet, but if millions of us do it, we will maintain it properly.
