Organic textile and organic cotton

Organic textile and especially organic cotton is getting more and more popular. Why the demand for organic textile and organic cotton products are increasing.  First we need to explain what is organic textile and organic cotton.

organic cottonOrganic textile is certified by the soil association from farm to the final product. Certain standard should be taken into consideration not only in the farm but also in the production of the organic textile fibre and the final product such as organic T Shirt, organic clothing or organic bedding.

One of the organic textile standard is organic fibre should be grown with out the harmful ingredients such as agricultural pesticides. Using genetically modified product such as fertilisers or organisms should be avoided in order to create an organic textile.

In the process of creating organic textile, harmful and damaging chemical should not be used. This will increase the cost of the organic textile, organic cotton or organic wool however the producing phase will be much more environmentally friendly. One of the reason why organic textile preferred is purely down to the fact that is it much more Eco-friendly compare to conventional methods of textile production.

In order to dye the organic textile again toxic, carcinogenic and allergic chemical should not be used.


Basically organic textile is the set of standards and the certification of the production phases of an textile product. This is also why organic textile is preferred more and more because it is free of of toxic, allergic materials and much more Eco-friendly.

Not only animal well fare but also sustainability is at the centre of the organic textile standards. For this reason organic textile and organic textile products are helping local producers get a fair share.
