Vietnam is one of the key centers for seagrass harvesting and processing due to its favorable climate and abundant resources. Our factory in Vietnam sources and processes the material locally, ensuring consistent raw material quality while effectively reducing supply chain costs.

The pre-processing steps for creating woven baskets from seagrass are as follows:
1. Harvesting and Cleaning the Seagrass:
Seagrass is harvested from aquatic environments and then meticulously cleaned to remove impurities and unwanted elements such as mud and other attachments, ensuring that only high-quality fibers are used in the weaving process.

2. Drying and Cutting:
Once cleaned, the seagrass is thoroughly dried, primarily through sun drying, to reduce its moisture content to an optimal level between 8% and 12%. This ensures that the fibers are not too brittle and prone to breaking while maintaining their flexibility and elasticity for weaving. Proper moisture control also helps prevent the woven products from becoming warped due to moisture absorption during later use. After drying, the fibers are cut and trimmed to the appropriate lengths and widths, depending on the specific product requirements.

3. Dyeing (Optional):
Depending on design needs, the seagrass may be dyed before weaving or painted after. Eco-friendly, non-toxic dyes are used to ensure that the colors are uniform and fade-resistant. Once dyed, the fibers are dried again to prepare them for the weaving process.

FAQ – Water Hyacinth Woven Products
1. What are water hyacinth products made from? Are they sustainable?
Water hyacinth products are handcrafted from dried fibers of the water hyacinth plant, a fast-growing aquatic species found in Vietnam. It is considered an eco-friendly and renewable material, harvested without chemical treatments and fully biodegradable.

2. How durable are water hyacinth baskets and storage items?
Water hyacinth fibers are naturally strong and elastic. When properly processed and woven, the material can support daily use for light to moderate loads. For higher strength, we can incorporate internal support structures (metal or wood) as needed.

3. Are water hyacinth products suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
They are best suited for indoor or shaded areas. While the material is breathable and flexible, it is still a natural plant fiber and should not be exposed to prolonged moisture, direct rain, or intense sunlight to avoid mildew or degradation.

4. Can I customize water hyacinth products for my brand or retail store?
Yes. WOODEVER offers full OEM/ODM customization services for international B2B buyers, including size, shape, weave style, mixed materials (e.g., water hyacinth + metal), and private label branding.

5. What international certifications do your water hyacinth products meet?
Our products are compliant with FSC® standards, and we follow strict guidelines under REACH, BSCI, and other global quality and ethical production certifications. All dyes used are non-toxic and eco-safe.

6. What is the export lead time for wholesale water hyacinth orders?
Lead times typically range from 30–45 days depending on order volume and customization. For new designs with sampling, timelines may extend to 45–60 days. We support global shipping with export-ready documentation.
