World Cotton Day
World Cotton Day is a celebration of cotton and an opportunity to show its enduring positive impact. Cotton is a natural fibre like no other. It’s a poverty-alleviating crop in some of the least developed countries in the world, providing sustainable and decent employment to people across the globe. It biodegrades quickly compared with synthetic alternatives, decreasing the amount of plastics entering our waterways and helping to keep our oceans clean. It’s the only agricultural commodity that provides both fibre and food. As a crop that grows in arid climates, it thrives in places no other crop can.
On World Cotton Day, stakeholders from the global cotton community come together to speak on the many advantages of cotton. From its qualities as a natural fibre, to the many benefits people obtain from its production.
At Organyc we only use 100% certified organic cotton. Organic cotton is one of the most environmentally friendly options… the production uses less energy, releases fewer greenhouse gases and due to the improved soil quality, uses significantly less water. Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials with the purpose of reducing the impact on the environment and preserving the natural equilibrium between the many components of the ecosystem. Organic agriculture endeavours work in harmony with nature, producing healthy plants for healthy people. Organic certification is the public’s assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict, safe procedures.
Our period products are made with 100% certified organic cotton, on the outside where it touches the skin, and the inside where it absorbs. There are no added plastics, SAPs, perfumes, dyes, colours, or wood pulp!
