The organic caltivation of cotton without agricultural chemical protects the quality of water and activates the soil. It is also expected to reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.
More use of Organic Cotton extend organic farms and lessen the stress to the environment. Moreover, It contributes to maintain the health of the people working at farms and living .
Organic Cotton will remain just a part of cotton products, but more use of Organic Cotton will ease the burden to the environment. We believe it is a kind of mission for SUNWELL as the textile related company to make efforts to introduce the eco-friendly Organic Cotton to the market. This is our first step of "What we can and shoud do for our Earth."
What is ORGANIC OTTON?
Organic Cotton is know as a raw cotton organically grown on the farms whrere neither agricultural chemical nor chemical fertilizer are used for more than 3 years, and is endorsed by the relative authorities.
The word "Organic Cotton" may sometimes gives impression of being good to the human skin or health, but it does not mean to have direct medical effects to the skin troubles such as a atopic matitis.
Organic Cotton is defined as a cotton which is "Safe to human health and Eco-Frienly Cotton" of organically grown without using harmful agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers.
How can we distinguish Organic Cotton from regular cotton?
It is very difficult to distinguish Organic Cotton and Regular Cotton because the amount of redusual agricultural cehmical of regular cotton is too small to detect in quality test. Therefore, Organic Cotton is endorsed by the certificate issued at the authorized institute who certify the cotton is organically grown. Th Organic Cotton fabrics of "SUNWELL" is guranteed by the certificate of the authorised insititute.
Are the regular dyed fabrics still regarded as Organic?
Organic Cotton means the cotton organically grown. Threfore, it has no concern with finished or not.
Three are two aspect in merchandising Organic Cotton.
One is to merchandise products by minimal use of chemicals in production process from the spinning to the sewing. The other is to produce products of Organic Cotton in regular production process or to blend Organic Cotton with regular cotton.
Both above reach to the same goal of "Increase the use of Organic Cotton and support Organic Cotton farmers" We SUNWELL take the latter idea for wider application of Organic Cotton. Even, we still try our best efforts to care about environment by using Hydrogen Peroxide in stead of Chlorine for bleaching process.
