100% certified natural organic cotton

The word "organic " is clearly defined in law. One of the characteristics of organic farming is that it strictly limits the use of artificial fertilisers and persticides in the cotton growing process. Organic cotton is grown in some 18 countries representing however only percentage of total world cotton production - less than 0.1%. The biggest producers are Turkey, the United States, India and Peru.

Organic cotton is produced in organic agricultural systems that produce food and fibre according to clearly established standards. Organic agriculture prohibits the use of toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers, as well as genetically modified organisms. It seeks to build biologically diverse agricultural systems, replenish and maintain soil fertility, and promote a healthy environment.

Certification programmes and standards vary from country to country.

The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) recommends a set of basic standards covering organic production and textile processing which provide a minimum basis upon which standards in many countries have been based.

The International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS) has set up accredit certification systems to monitor production processes. There are a number of various certification agencies worldwide for organic cotton production but far fewer for certifying cotton processing to assure reduced health and environmental impacts. Several sets of processing standards exist in Europe (KRAV and SKAL for example), and others are being developed in Europe and in the United States.
