• The Good:

  We have used 100% organic cotton since 1996 for this product and achieve a high quality with resin-free finishing.

• The Bad:

  Though this supplier has been supplying us organic cotton for 12 years, organic only comprises 5% of their business. We wish more companies were willing to go organic.

• What We Think:

  Although more manufacturers use organic cotton, cost and logistics remain formidable barriers to a widespread industry switch.
