Why Organic Cotton Is a Good Choice
Why organic cotton is a good choice
Interest in conscious fashion has grown in recent years. Shoppers are looking for clothing where they know what it's made of and that feels comfortable against the skin. Organic cotton is one of the best-known materials in this field. ORGANICATION specialises in fashion made from organic cotton and other carefully chosen materials. But what makes organic cotton different? Let's take a closer look.
What is organic cotton and what makes it special?
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Conventional rather than genetically modified seed is used, and crop rotation and natural methods of pest control are part of the farming process. Cultivation is checked against the rules of organic agriculture.
At ORGANICATION, depending on the product, items are certified to GOTS, OCS, GRS, RCS or RWS – the details are shown on each product page. Find out more about the material on our Organic cotton page.
Benefits of organic cotton
Certified organic farming: no synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers are used in organic farming. Compliance is checked by independent bodies.
Comfortable on the skin: organic cotton is soft, breathable and pleasant to wear – ideal for clothes you wear every day.
Traceable origin: standards such as GOTS and OCS track the organic content from the field to the finished product, so you can see what goes into your garment.
Durable and high quality: well-made cotton clothing is hard-wearing. With the right care, it lasts a long time and needs replacing less often.
