TITLE: Organic cotton TEXT: Organic cotton is grown entirely without chemical pesticides, artificial fertiliser or genetically modified crops, which results in better soil quality, greater biodiversity and balanced ecosystems. It is expensive and time consuming to convert agriculture to organic. Therefore, only a small part of all cotton production in the world is organic. We do not use any conventional cotton in our products. Our Organic Cotton-labelled garments contains at least 50% organic cotton, and we use Organic Content Standard (OCS) to keep track and verify the organic cotton fibers.
