Sustainable challenges
Cottover is manufactured in order to meet the social and
environmental challenges that exist in the entire production
chain, from raw material to the readymade garment.
The cotton is organically cultured without harmful pesticides by
farmers that receive fair compensation in accordance with the
criteria set by Fairtrade. We have minimized the use of chemicals
in the entire production chain and only specifically approved
colorants and chemicals are allowed in the after process,
all according to the criteria set by the Nordic Ecolabel, Svanen.
The UN conventions regarding labour terms must also be
followed by all suppliers and we have full and complete
traceability from cotton to the readymade garment which is rare
in the textile business today. The clothing has also been tested
to secure a high quality. By manufacturing products with good
quality we are able to decrease the waste of global resources, at
least in some extent, in terms of clothes being disposed, too soon,
too often.
When we as clients actively chose sustainable products instead
of conventional we are able to make impact on textile business.
