FAQs

Organic cotton is cultivated without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemical fertilizers, also prohibiting genetically modified seeds (GMOs). Focused on soil sustainability and water conservation, it obtains certification through organic standards such as GOTS, EU Organics or USDA Organics, among others, promoting environmentally friendly agricultural and textile practices.

Organic cotton differs from conventional cotton due to its sustainable agricultural practices: no pesticides or synthetic chemical fertilizers, no genetically modified seeds, organic certification such as EU Organics or USDA Organics, and promotion of soil health. In contrast, conventional cotton uses genetically modified seeds, pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic chemical fertilizers, which have negative impacts on the health of farmers, soil degradation, biodiversity, and water resources.

In general, both terms are often used interchangeably, but they are different terms. While organic cotton specifically refers to cotton cultivated without genetically modified seeds (GMOs) and without the use of herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic chemical fertilizers, ecological cotton may refer to broader agricultural practices that include reducing overall environmental impacts, such as water conservation and sustainable resource management.

Organic cotton prioritizes agricultural practices without genetically modified seeds (GMOs), herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic chemical fertilizers, with certifications such as EU Organic or USDA Organic. In contrast, regenerative crop cotton is more holistic, prioritizing soil regeneration, agricultural ecosystems, and biodiversity, using practices that include and combine organic cultivation with techniques such as crop rotation, intercropping, mulching, or cover cropping.

Cotton is sustainable when its cultivation and production prioritize environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices. This involves minimal or zero use of herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic chemical fertilizers, the prohibition of genetically modified seeds (GMOs), the promotion of soil and water health, as well as the certification of organic crops, such as EU Organic and USDA Organic, or environmentally and socially sustainable textile transformation practices like GOTS. This approach reduces environmental impact and improves the lives of farmers, contributing to a more equitable and healthy system for both people and the planet.
