Did you know that cotton textile industry is the second most polluting industry after oil? Cotton accounts for around 40% of global textile production. Organic cotton is eco-friendly alternative to traditional cotton and here's why we try and and use it where possible.
More environmentally friendly production process:
Organic cotton farming doesn't use chemical fertilizers and pesticides in order to prevent harm to ecosystems around production fields.
Saves water:
Natural fertilizers used in organic cotton production allow soil to retain moisture. This means that organic cotton farming uses less water and energy compared to conventional cotton.
Hypoallergenic and high quality material:
Since it's production doesn't use harmful chemicals, organic cotton products are softer and gentler to the skin, as the fibres are much longer compared to traditional cotton. Organic cotton is also very strong and resilient material, which means that your garments are more sustainable and will last longer.
Fair working conditions for farmers and factory workers:
By purchasing organic cotton products which are GOTS ( Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, you know that people who create your fabric are being paid fairly and their working conditions are quivalent to those of leading social sustainability standards.
