The fabric in your UltraClub Organic shirts
is 100% certified Organic cotton. That means
that the fabric MUST contain 100%
organically produced cotton. (The seams are
sewn with polyester threads, but the shirt
fabric is 100% organic cotton.) Here's how
it's produced differently than traditional
cotton:
On many traditional cotton farms, because of the depletion of nutrients
and use of pesticides, the soil is most
often sterile, meaning that the farms rely
on additives, synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides, plus vast quantities of water to
keep growing.
Organic farming restores and builds up the soil, increasing its organic
content, which in turn increases its
water-sustaining ability. The rich, moist
earth results in stronger plants, which
improve the soil even more. Far less water
runs off organic fields, and what does is
not polluted with pesticides or synthetic
fertilizers.
Conventionally grown cotton consumes 25% of the insecticides and more
than 10% of the pesticides used in the WORLD
today! Conventional farming devours roughly
150 grams of pesticides and fertilizers to
produce enough cotton for a single T-shirt.

Here the fiber is separated from the seed. Organic cotton must be
processed separately from conventional cotton,
and machines must be cleaned to avoid
contamination. The seed is used in animal feed
or pressed into oils for processed foods.
The cotton is cleaned to remove any foreign matter and then combed to
align fibers and remove any that are too short.
The fibers are pulled together into a loose yarn
called "sliver", which is then twisted under
tension to create yarns. Again, machinery must
remain uncontaminated.
|
The yarns are made into fabrics, with separate machines for organic
cotton.
For 100% organic products, only environmentally-friendly chemicals that
meet organic fiber processing standards are
used.
Patterns are cut, pieces assembled, and the final product is sewn,
pressed, and packaged, ready for the journey.
Throughout the process it is extremely important
that the organic cotton is kept separate and
clearly identified, and that the certification
is tracked.

Each field and
each bale of cotton is specifically
certified to be sure that it contains
certified organic materials, and
certified organic standards for the
growing and processing, so your buyers
can buy with complete confidence.
The Organic Trade Association promotes
and protects the principles of organic
agriculture and organic standards. To
confirm that these standards are
actually met, certifiers visit the
farms, walk the fields, review records,
and ensure that everything is in
compliance before issuing organic
certificates to the farmers. There are
many such certifying agencies throughout
the world, many accredited by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
