TITLE: Organic cotton TEXT: Organic cotton is grown entirely without chemical pesticides, artificial fertiliser or GMO's, which results in better soil quality, greater biodiversity and balanced ecosystems. It is expensive and time consuming to convert agriculture to organic. Therefore, only a small part of all cotton production in the world is organic. The organic content we use in our products are assured by independent third party inspections. Sometimes we mix organic cotton with other fibres to create an Organic Cotton Blend. The resulting garment is then composed of a combination of organic cotton and other fibres, but never conventionally farmed cotton.
TITLE: Organic cotton- GOTS TEXT: The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a worldwide textile processing standard for organic fibers that include both social and ecological criteria. A GOTS-certified garment is made of minimum 70% organic material. GOTS-certified products sold by Kappahl are labelled with the GOTS logo on the hangtag or packaging.

TITLE: Recycled polyester TEXT: Recycled polyester is made from PET bottles and scraps and by-products from the manufacturing industry, as opposed to conventional polyester which is made from oil. Making recycled material is less resource-intensive than producing material from scratch, which is why it reduces pollution and energy consumption. It also reduces the volume of waste. Our Recycled Polyester-labelled garments contain at least 50 percent recycled material.

TITLE: Rescued Fabrics TEXT: Often, design comes first, and materials second. But with Rescued Fabrics we’re doing the exact opposite. What leftover fabrics might our suppliers have in their storage? How can we design garments or products to put those leftovers to use? By utilizing leftover materials from previous collections, we take care of valuable resources.
