🌎 10.5 million tons of textile waste end up in the landfill every year, just in the USA!
Cloting 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!
❌ Avoid conventional tops made with toxic dyes and cheap materials, often synthetic and petroleum-derived. They contain chemicals that affect health, they are linked to hormonal imbalance and infertility, low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and other reproductive issues. Exposure and effects of these chemicals are drawing the attention of many.
If you experience a low testosterone level, it could be a toxic chemical in men’s underwear.
❌ Synthetic clothes: They are made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, rayon, or polyamide. These clothes release 9 MILLION plastic microfibers into the ocean every time we wash them. They make up 35% of the primary microplastics found in the oceans!
❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind.
Do you know that conventional cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world?
It is responsible for 16% of insecticides and 7% of pesticides on the planet! 🙈
It takes 713 gallons of water to make a non-organic t-shirt. 713 gallons of water are enough for a person to drink for 900 days. The water consumption of organic cotton is 91% lower than conventional cotton.
Avoid Greenwashing tops made by brands that pretend to be sustainable, or eco-friendly when they are not. They will try to convince the products are somehow green without proving it.
They claim to be organic without certification. It doesn’t matter how big or luxurious their brand is, or if it is a designer line, if it is not made with responsible material in fair production, there is nothing sexy here.
❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural” cotton, if they don’t display the GOTS Certified seal, they may have something to hide.
❌ Recycled synthetic material: it still releases microplastics when washing
❌ Avoid Bamboo viscose AKA Bamboo rayon: It is a bio-based semi-synthetic material created from cellulose fibers from bamboo. Even though bamboo is grown without pesticides, it is made into viscose, which requires toxic chemicals (chemicals carbon disulfide, solvents such as sodium hydroxide — a.k.a caustic soda) and a polluting process. Plus, it is mostly made in China! Therefore, bamboo viscose is greenwashing
❌ Avoid Modal: viscose that has been made using a closed-loop production process. This more sustainable process also tends to lead to slightly stronger, more durable fabrics.
❌ Avoid Lyocell: its processing also omits certain harmful chemicals altogether.
❌ Avoid Tencel: Tencel is Lenzing’s trademarked version of lyocell or modal yarn
✅ 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, 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.
I listed here the best GOTS-certified organic top brands:
🌟Their cotton is superior, more resistant, and incredibly soft, compared to conventional cotton! Their cotton will last you much longer than cheaper conventional options.
🍃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. 🌎
