Why choose organic cotton? Cotton is a very pesticide-intensive crop but organic fibres are grown without the use of harmful pesticides or genetically modified organisms so promote a healthier environment for wildlife, animals and people. Social conditions are high in organic textile factories so this cotton production can help farmers find a way out of poverty. Organic textiles don't contain allergenic, carcinogenic or toxic chemicals and as a result are a natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre.
Why choose recycled cotton? When it comes to cotton, recycled cotton is a true minimalist. Not only that it reduces the amount of textile waste sent to landfills compared to virgin cotton, it demands no-to-low water use during the recycling process*.
