What is Oko-Tex Standard 100?

Cotton is not only one of the world's most ancient crops but also its most important natural fiber. The cotton industry is also a major source of pollution. Between its planting and harvest, cotton can be treated up to 20 times against parasites and other harmful insects. The impact of these substances on water, soil and the air is considerable. They may also destroy insects such as bees and thus interfere with the food chain. According to a report by the World Health Organization, three million people are poisoned each year from working with harmful chemicals.

Chemical treatment of cotton continues after its harvest. Indeed, fibers are often bleached and colored by use of harmful chemical products. And in India, for example, waste water from these processes often flows directly into rivers without passing through a treatment plant.

Each producer is free to define "natural" and "bio" in his own way. For the cotton supplier, the following environmental criteria should be observed: Reduction, if not elimination, of all pesticides on cotton crops; Cotton must be picked by hand (without use of defoliants); A guaranteed minimum wage for cotton workers; Processing and coloring of cotton with minimal use of chemicals, water and energy
