|---|---|
| Organic Cotton |
Organic cotton is grown without insecticides or pesticides or the use of genetically modified seeds – in other words its guaranteed 100% natural and chemical-free. It’s typically rotated with other crops, which helps to replenish the soil, naturally eliminate pests and reduce farmers' dependency on a single crop. Certified organic cotton also bans the addition of chemicals as the fibre is turned into cloth. |
| Organic Leather |
Organic leather is leather made from the hides of organically fed and humanely raised animals. The tanning process can involve plant tannins or smoke to cure the leather, which eliminates toxicity from the run. |
| Organic Standards |
Requirements by law that define how and when a product is officially granted as being organic. |
