Why choose organic cotton? Regular 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 higher 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. In addition, less water is the manufacturing process.
Why Choose Tencel? Tencel® is the brand name for Lyocell which is a man-made cellulosic fabric made from wood pulp.It is produced in a closed-loop system, which means that 99% of the solvent as well as water is reused. It is obtained from trees that are grown on farms, eliminating the risk of deforestation. 99% of the wood comes from FSC and PEFC certified and sustainably managed forests. FSC and PEFC are non-profit, independent organisations working towards a long-term sustainable and viable use of the world’s forests. More than 50% of the wood is from Austrian and other European forests. To extract the fibre from the wood, a biodegradable chemical is used, resulting in a viscous cellulose pulp. To convert into long fibers, the mass must be pressed through a large nozzle. Then, the fibres are dried, washed, spun into threads, and lastly woven into a textile material.
