🌎 10.5 million tons of textile waste end up in the landfill every year, just in the USA!
T-shirts can be made with many different materials. The irresponsible manufacturer produces their underwear using toxic, polluting, synthetic, and cheap materials to increase their profit at the expense of their customers’ health and the environment.
🌟Let’s reduce waste, let’s buy better quality clothes! Don’t follow the fashion, but make your own!
Less than 1% of the world’s cotton is organic. Here is why I only use and recommend GOTS-certified organic cotton:
✅ The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
The standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from certified organic natural fibers.
The aim of the standard is to ensure the organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, up to labeling.
🍃 GOTS Certification also certifies the product does not have toxic heavy metals, pesticides, GMOs, chlorine bleaching, toxic dyes, or PVC (all things that conventional cotton has 🙈🙊).
🍃It also certifies that the production has respected ecological rules on waste, water use, disposal, and protection of the environment, that it has followed rules that respect the workers, and finally, protection for the consumer’s health.
✅ The Fair Trade Certified Factory: logo means these brands partner with Fair Trade Certified™ factories that provide safe working conditions, community support, and additional development funds to those working on-site.
🌟Their cotton is superior, more resistant, and incredibly soft, compared to conventional cotton! Their cotton will last you much longer than cheaper conventional options.
Cost-Per-Wear vs. Fast Fashion
🍃By choosing only GOTS Certified organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products. 🌎
