FAIR TRADE
SAVES THE PLANET
Organic certification requires
safe working conditions, NO
child labour, and fair wages for
workers.
Cotton is recognised as the “worlds
dirtiest crop”.
LESS WATER
CONSUMPTION
A single NON Organic Cotton
T-Shirt requires on average
2,700 litres of water to produce.
Organic cotton uses up to 91%
less water to produce.
SAVES LIVES
NON Organic Cotton crops
use an estimated $2 Billion
of chemicals, pesticides and
genetically modified organisms
each year. Certified Organic
Cotton is not treated with any
harmful products.
Half of the $2 billion in chemicals
and pesticides used in NON
Organic Cotton are designated
“TOXIC” by the World Health
Organisation.
97% of the worlds cotton is NON
Organic. The seeds of which have
been genetically modified to
produce more and be impervious to
chemicals.
25% of the worlds insecticides and
10% of the worlds pesticides are
used on NON Organic Cotton.
In Organic Cotton the combination
of NO toxic chemicals, pesticides
and genetically modified organisms
with up to 91% less water
consumption helps protect our
planet.
The consumption of NON Organic
Cotton releases approx. 220
million tonnes of greenhouse gas
each year. Organic Cotton creates
approx. 46% less CO2 emissions.
2.6% of the worlds water usage
is used to produce NON Organic
Cotton.
20% of the Worlds Freshwater
pollution comes from textile
treatment and dyeing.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service
have estimated that pesticides
unintentionally kill 67 million birds
each year in the US.
As we conducted our research into
the transition from Non Organic
Cottons to Certified Organic
Cottons it became evident that it
was not a case of should we do this
but how quickly we can do this!
A quote I read whilst researching
the impact of chemicals & pesticide
inspired me to work faster.
“We are living on the planet like
we have another one to go to”
We can all make a difference. At
Orientique we are proud of the
direction we have taken, and are
confident our commitment to
naturality will support our small
business network of customers
around the world.
We have more work to do but we
won’t stop working on producing a
better garment for you.
