All cotton used for Cottover is organic.
Organic means the growth of a crop, in this case
cotton which is a natural fiber. Organic means growth
in harmony with nature according to international
agreed criteria. When the cotton is being cultured
without stress from chemical fertilizers it develops
a high quality with long, smooth and soft fibers,
practically, organic cotton means the following three
things;
1. No synthetic pesticides against insects and fungi,
only physical weed control
2. No chemical fertilizers
3. No genetically modified crops (GMO)
As the cotton moves along the production chain
transaction certificates are issued by a certification
body each time when being transported.
The transaction certificates make it possible to
track the cotton fibers during transfers between all
subcontractors and certify the authenticity of the final
product.
