Cotton is a natural fiber. As such, it is opposed to synthetic materials such as polyester, polyamide or polyacrylic, which are produced from coal, natural gas or crude oil. Cotton is biodegradable, grows again and feels great on the skin. That’s very good. Or isn’t it?
The production of cotton is connected with many problems and often dangerous for humans and the environment. This article shows why you should look out for organic cotton when purchasing cotton clothing.
Estimates before the outbreak of Covid-19 indicate that global organic cotton production will grow by another 10 percent next year. We at Pamboo are pleased with this prediction. After all, we are dependent on the availability of certified organic cotton in order to be able to continue to offer you our high-quality organic fashion for children and babies going forward.
Pamboo offers baby fashion from organic cotton that is undyed and unbleached.
