Organic Cotton
What's the Difference?
The cotton used by Cool Green Attitude is of the highest quality and is produced as 100% pure organically grown cotton.
Our supplier's organic cotton is certified by the Control Union World Group, to the Organic Exchange 100 guidelines and the SKAL International standards for sustainable textile production, which verify conformity with organic regulations of Europe, Japan and the United States.
The cotton is cultivated without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This means the "Living Soil" has been free from any toxic substances for at least 3 years and enriched by organic compost and other organic matter.
This results in a soil and water supply that are cleaner, which in turn protects the local population and wildlife. The resulting cotton fibre is processed into fabric without the use of harmful chemicals or bleach.
Our organic cotton clothing is dyed using azo-free dyes that meet the requirements of Global Organic Textile Standards. and are Oeko-Tex certified.
What about our Designs?
After all that we couldn't possibly put chemical dyes and plastisol inks on top of our pure, soft and natural clothes, so we use a specialist screen printing company to print our designs with "organic" water based inks. They are the only certified Soil Association. printer in Europe.
Why Buy Organic?
There are so many good reasons to buy organic products for you, your family and the people responsible for growing and cultivating it thousands of miles away. The bottom line is that it's the best natural fabric you can buy. It's softer, kinder on skin, longer lasting, high quality, keeps it's shape for longer and it doesn't strip the soil and ground water that conventional "modern" cotton is famously renowned for.
Certified organic cotton has a low impact on the environment as it replenishes and maintains soil fertility, reduces the global use of toxic and persistent fertilizers and pesticides, and builds a biologically diverse agriculture.
Why pay more...for anything less...than the best!
