Organic Cotton
On many traditional cotton farms, the soil is most often sterile because of the depletion of nutrients. As a result, farmers must rely on additives, synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, plus vast quantities of water to keep their crops growing. In contrast, organic farming restores and builds up the soil, increasing its organic content which, in turn, increases its water-sustaining ability.
The rich, moist earth results in stronger plants, which improves the soil even more. Far less water runs off organic fields, and what does run off is not polluted with pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
Organic cotton must be processed separately from conventional cotton and machines must be cleaned to avoid contamination. For 100% organic products, only environmentally friendly chemicals that meet organic fibre processing standards are used. Cotton is a biodegradable natural fibre.

Recycled Fabrics
Recycling begins with discarded materials (such as water bottles and yogurt containers) that are stripped of their labels and lids, crushed, baled, washed and smashed. They are turned into pellets, which are then made into PET fibers that are then spun into yarn, woven or knit into fabrics and made into finished products.

Corn Plastics
Corn plastics are made from PLA (polylactide/polylactic acid). PLA is made from corn. Corn-plastic products look and feel just like regular plastic, but they are 100% biodegradable and compostable. In commercial composting conditions, PLA will compost in approximately 30-45 days. Most landfills are not designed to allow biodegrading of their contents. With that being said, PLA will react in landfills like other organic waste such as food.
