WATER USAGE & CHEMICALS
The brand uses some GOTS-certified organic cotton, which means water consumption during cultivation is lower than for conventional cotton. GOTS also prohibits the use of harmful chemicals in processing, such as toxic dyes or heavy metals.
By incorporating synthetic fibres like elastane, polyester, and polyamide, microplastic particles may be released during washing.
There is no information on which dyeing or printing techniques are used.
No details are provided on water or chemical management or strategies to mitigate microplastic pollution.
