What is organic cotton and why does it matter? | Hubbub Investigates

SPONSORED CONTENT Every year we produce 29 million tonnes of cotton which is the same as 29 t-shirts for everyone on earth. It’s the world’s most commonly used natural fibre and people like it because it’s light, durable and breathable. If you have a look through your wardrobe you can be sure that something in there will at least partly be made of cotton. Cotton is actually a plant, the bit we use to make fabric is a fluffy white fibres that surround the seed, it gets picked, the seeds are taken out and then it’s spun into a thread. But while cotton is a natural fibre and doesn't cause the same plastic pollution problems as some man made fabrics, it comes with its own issues... This week on the vlog we've teamed up with our friends at the soil association to investigate current cotton production and the benefits of making the switch to organic. To find out more about the soil association head to their website. Soil Association Certification certifies both GOTS and OCS in the UK – and so you may spot the SA Organic symbol alongside when buying organic clothing. This is the UK’s most recognised organic logo – it’s on 70% of organic food, health and beauty, fashion and textile products in UK https://www.soilassociation.org/ References https://www.independent.co.uk/life-st... https://www.independent.co.uk/life-st... https://fashionunited.uk/news/fashion... https://fashionunited.uk/news/busines... https://www.freshplaza.com/article/90... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/s... http://theconversation.com/fixing-our... https://www.womansday.com/life/inspir...
