Organic Cotton

Definition

Cotton grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, or genetically modified seeds, certified under standards like GOTS or OCS. Organic cotton uses 88% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. At White Cotton, organic cotton is our most-requested fibre — we source GOTS-certified yarn and can provide full chain-of-custody documentation from field to finished garment.
