Organic fabrics represent a commitment to environmental health from the very beginning of the supply chain. The "organic" label signifies that the fiber was grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and hemp are cultivated using natural methods such as crop rotation and composting, which enrich the soil and protect water sources from chemical runoff.
Organic farming protects the soil, water, and biodiversity, while also being safer for farm workers who are not exposed to toxic synthetic chemicals.
For true, end-to-end sustainability, a material needs to be certified by a stringent standard like the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). GOTS certification goes beyond the farm, ensuring the entire processing chain—from spinning and dyeing to manufacturing—is done without hazardous substances and under strict social criteria.
