The fabric in your UltraClub Organic shirts is 100% certified Organic cotton. That means that the fabric MUST contain 100% organically produced cotton. (The seams are sewn with polyester threads, but the shirt fabric is 100% organic cotton.) Here's how it's produced differently than traditional cotton:
Traditional Cotton
On many tradtional cotton farms, because of the depletion of nutrients and use of pesticides, the soil is most often sterile, meaning that the farms rely on additives, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plus vast quantities of water to keep growing.
Organic Cotton
Organic farming restores and builds up the soil, increasing its organic content, which in turn increases its water-sustaining ability. The rich, moist earth results in stronger plants, which improve the soil even more. Far less water runs off organic fields, and what does is not polluted with pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
No Chemicals, No Pesticides - EVER
Conventionally grown cotton consumes 25% of the insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides used in the WORLD today! Conventional farming devours roughly 150 grams of pesticides and fertilizers to produce enough cotton for a single T-shirt.
100% Certified Organic
Each field and each bale of cotton is specifically certified to be sure that it contains certified organic materials, and certified organic standards for the growing and processing, so your buyers can buy with complete confidence.
Member Organic Trade Association
The Organic Trade Association promotes and protects the principles of organic agriculture and organic standards. To confirm that these standards are actually met, certifiers visit the farms, walk the fields, review records, and ensure that everything is in compliance before issuing organic certificates to the farmers. There are many such certifying agencies throughout the world, many accredited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Protecting the Workers
Promoting organic garments to your clients shows they are making a commitment to being a socially, ethically and environmentally responsible company. When their garments are labeled UltraClub Certified Organically Grown, they can rest assured that the growers and producers of their cotton employ best practices in protecting workers' rights and improving the working conditions to international labor standards.
That Means:
* No sweat shops
* Safe handling procedures
* Fair working practices
* Chemical and pesticide-free environments to protect all our families
