Material: Organic cotton

*Grey marl 21% polyester 

The cotton for the organic Eden t-shirt is picked by hand and spun in low-impact manufacturing facilities, powered by wind turbines. The t-shirts are shipped over here in biodegradable PVC-free packaging and recycled cardboard boxes.

Organic farming means no petroleum-based chemical fertiliser, which has a hefty carbon footprint and can damage workers’ health; the organic standard also includes strict social criteria to protect farmers. Unlike many cotton plantations, these don’t rely on large-scale irrigation schemes, which often deprive local villages of scarce water resources by draining lakes and rivers. Instead, the monsoon rains water these crops.

Even the dyeing process is carefully thought out, with the wastewater transformed into clean water in a closed system using treatment ponds, sand filtration and reverse osmosis.
