Sustainably Sourced Cotton
By supporting The BCI, we are ensuring that more cotton farmers are learning sustainable farming methods, allowing for more sustainable cotton to enter
the global cotton supply chain.
What is the BCI and Better Cotton?
The aim of BCI is to improve the global cotton system by training farmers across the globe on more sustainable farming practices:
Is Better Cotton better than organic cotton?
It's a great standard but it stands for a very small part of the global cotton production - because transitioning to organic cotton is often difficult and time consuming.
BCI works collaboratively with other standards, including organic and Fairtrade, all of whom are working towards a shared goal: to ensure that cotton is produced in a more sustainable manner.
Is there 'Better Cotton' in my Threadfast tee?
For instance, a yarn mill can mix both Better Cotton and conventional cotton when spinning the yarn:
that positively impacts farmers and the environment. The more demand we create, the greater the impact.
Recycled Polyester
We've increased our use of polyester fiber made from recycled content including plastic bottles. Compared to virgin fiber, our recycled poly consumes less petroleum, emits fewer greenhouse gases and conserves water and energy.
