Nothing much will be left for the coming generations if we don’t consider sustainability in whatever we do, especially farming and nature. We have very often heard the manufacturers claiming that they adopt fair trade manufacturing practices and manufacture garments made from organic cotton only. So let us first understand what us organic cotton?
Organic cotton is pure natural cotton which is produced without using pesticides, insecticides and synthetic chemical fertilizers. It is produced with the help of innovative farming techniques, compost and natural fertilizers. Organic Cotton Manufacturers say that this cotton is planted on less than three percent of our world’s arable land. This is an environmental friendly crop which limits the release of carbon dioxide to great extent.
Though there are 100 kinds of this crop which are used in garments of organic cotton, however we would cover few of these which are listed below:
- Printed Organic Fabric
- Grey Organic Fabric
- Plain Organic Fabric
- AOP Organic Fabric
- Dyed Organic Fabric
- Knitted Organic Fabric
Once the organic cotton is grown by farmers, it is processed for pre–spinning step. This process is called rowing, which is mainly done in the villages itself or in industries that have good quality machines. Then fabric is then sent for herbal processing post which it is sent for sale to the customers. Generally the organic cotton manufacturer should be GOTS certified.
Organic cotton comes from different sources in India but to find the one which produces impeccable quality is of main concern. There are numerous government and non-government organizations that produce organic cotton. No matter from where you but organic cotton or what kind of organic cotton you buy, one factor which needs your attention is that he should be string adopter of fair trade manufacturing. So go green and organic.
