Organic Cotton – What Makes the Difference
Organic cotton is playing an ever greater role in the fashion industry. It differs from conventional cotton mainly in the way it is grown, and many people appreciate it for its quality and comfort. Let’s take a closer look at organic cotton and find out what makes it special – and why it plays an important role at ORGANICATION.
What is organic cotton and why does it matter?
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or genetically modified organisms. Instead, organic farming relies on crop rotation, natural fertilisation and biological pest control.
The characteristics of organic cotton at a glance:
Organic farming: synthetic pesticides and fertilisers are not permitted; natural methods are used instead.
No GM seed: genetically modified seed is excluded from organic farming.
Comfortable on the skin: organic cotton is soft, breathable and pleasant to wear.
Standards such as GOTS or OCS, which are audited by independent bodies, show whether a garment really is made from certified organic cotton.
