Organic materials are an important step towards a more sustainable textile industry. They are produced with respect for people, animals and the environment, forming the foundation of textiles made in a responsible way.
At Knit Factory, we choose organic materials for selected products within our collection. This allows us to combine comfort, quality and a conscious choice of materials.
When a textile product is described as organic, it means that the natural fibres come from certified organic farming.
For example, strict requirements apply to the cultivation of organic cotton. Genetically modified crops are not permitted, and the use of harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilisers is significantly restricted or prohibited. This helps reduce the impact on both people and the environment.
Organic materials offer a number of important benefits.
Responsible farming practices help protect the soil and make more sustainable use of natural resources. As a result, organic materials contribute to a more sustainable textile industry.
For you, this means choosing a product made with care and attention to the origin of its natural fibres.
We use organic materials for selected products within our collection. Whenever this is the case, it is clearly stated on the product page.
This makes it easy to identify which products are made with organic fibres, allowing you to make a more informed choice.
Different certifications and terms each refer to different aspects of a textile product.
Organic refers to the origin of the natural fibres. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 focuses on the safety of the finished product by testing for harmful substances. GOTS goes one step further by setting requirements for both the organic fibres and the way they are processed throughout the production chain.
Rather than replacing one another, these certifications complement each other.
Organic cotton is one example of an organic material. It refers specifically to cotton grown according to certified organic farming standards.
No. We use organic materials for selected products within our collection. Whenever this applies, it is clearly indicated on the product page.
Organic materials are produced according to strict standards that support more sustainable farming and production methods. For this reason, they are widely considered a more responsible choice within the textile industry.
