Product Sustainability
Sweatshirts
Our organic cotton doodle sweatshirts are sourced from a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified wholesale supplier. These certifications ensure that each and every part of the process to produce these sweatshirts is environmentally and socially responsible and safe.
Going forward I intend on only purchasing organic cotton sweatshirts but for sustainability sake I will continue to use the non-organic sweatshirts I have in my stock until I run out.
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS):
Every step of the product, from growing the cotton, spinning the yarn, making the textile, sewing on the label, etc. is certified organic (no synthetic fertilizers. no pesticides. no toxic chemicals.)
Meets strict globally standardized environmental criteria
OEKO-TEX standard 100:
Only certified dyes and chemicals can be used throughout the whole production.
Globally standardized testing that complies with international requirements and regulations
tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances like Azo colourants, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, nickel, etc. which are harmful to human and environmental health ( and many people {like me!!!} are allergic to)
