WHY ORGANIC MATTERS

Did you know that we spend on average, 25 years of our life sleeping?

Clothing certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is good for your kids because it’s guaranteed toxin-free. Now, let’s consider other factors like the environment and the economy. What does the GOTS stamp of approval mean for our earth? All good things.

Because the GOTS represents ethically sourced textiles and accounts for production’s environmental footprint, the benefits are multifold.

Better Clothing, Ample Benefits
Environmentally Speaking
More natural materials breed a more sustainable product on all levels. Think about it. If toxins aren’t healthy for your young, there’s a good chance they’re pollutants to other branches of life. Plus, because quality clothing lasts longer, choosing options made with longevity in mind reduces waste.

Because this cycle of sustainability starts with the source, let’s pick on a major crop, cotton.

According to The Organic Trade Association, conventionally grown cotton has been marked as the globe’s ‘dirtiest’ crop. This classification seems unexpected, but valid due to the large dose of insecticides (16% of the world's supply) at work.

How does the GOTS criteria help combat these chemicals and promote wider environmental health?

The standard ensures clean, organically-sourced materials. No toxic substances allowed. It also improves farmer health and the wellbeing of their production base. Not to mention the GOTS’ “waste not” policies. GOTS requirements include strict waste limits -- at each stage of the manufacturing process. They also dictate that wastewater align with an eco-friendly treatment plan.
