Organic cotton fibers are not differ from regular cotton fibers. Cotton plants are grown naturally without the use of synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. From sown to seeds to harvesting of cotton pods involved use of biological cycles only.
Agricultural chemicals used for better yield with better quality. The intention behind avoiding the use of fertilizer or any kind of chemical in cotton cultivation is to protect the environment and soil. To have organic cotton and avoid use of pesticides, a system has been developed at the global level that regulates and controls the process of farming, which will include giving approval and supporting to the farmers to grow organic cotton. Each and every stage the process is monitored and verified by the governing body of organic cotton.
The sustainable cotton project of the global leadership is helping farmers to change their production of conventional cotton growth, found successful in many countries like Turkey, India, China, Pakistan, Brazil, Australia, US and African countries, mainly Egypt. And global apparel brands like Nike, Wallmart, C&A, H&M,etc, have switched to organic cotton.
GOTS ( The Global Organic Textile Standard ) is the certification body of global organic cotton. GOTS was developed with the aim of defining requirements that are recognised world wide and that ensure the organic status of textiles from harvesting of the raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing all the way to labelling in order to provide credible assurance to the consumer.
