PLASTIC PANDEMIC
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, our crews are finding more and more single-use PPE in the ocean during their daily cleanups. Single-use face masks are the most common type of pandemic related waste we find, which is concerning because they post a huge ingestion and entanglement risk for marine life, especially seabirds.
Why GOTS Certification Matters
Totally sustainable and fully traceable
GOTS is the highest standard for a finished organic textile because it doesn’t just regulate the cotton itself, but the social and environmental impact of the entire supply chain as well. All of our organic cotton can be traced back to the farms in India where it was grown free from GMO seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, and other toxic chemicals. No toxic chemicals are used to harvest, gin, or clean our cotton and our printing process is free from heavy metals, formaldehyde, plastisol, and other toxic chemicals.
