Kapok is a natural fiber obtained from the seed pods of the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra). This tree is native to tropical regions and can grow up to 70 meters tall. The fiber is lightweight, buoyant, and water-resistant, making it ideal for use in life jackets, pillows, and insulation. The kapok fiber is harvested by hand, and the process is sustainable since it does not harm the tree. Kapok is also biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials. Its soft texture and resilience contribute to its popularity in various applications, including eco-friendly products.
