Why Buy Organic Cotton

WHY BUY ORGANIC COTTON PRODUCTS?

When you buy an organic cotton product you are buying something which has not

been contaminated by toxic chemicals; the residues of these chemicals can remain in

the fabric after processing.

When you buy an organic cotton product, you are buying something which has

caused no harm to the farmers who grow it and to the communities in which they

live.

When you buy an organic cotton product you are buying something which hasn’t

poisoned the soil in which it is grown and which hasn’t contaminated the surrounding

water systems.

When you buy an organic product you are adding your voice to those of a growing

number of eco-conscious consumers who are concerned about the health of the

world their children will inherit.

When you buy an organic product, you are helping to promote this small but growing

industry.

Organic cotton uses no chemicals, no synthetic fertilisers and less water. Pests are

controlled by beneficial insects, biodiversity is encouraged and the soil is enriched

and replenished through the use of organic fertilisers and crop rotations. This regular

rotation provides a secondary cash crop as well as food for the farmers and local

communities.
