bioRe® Sustainable Cotton
The bioRe® Sustainable Cotton quality label marks yarns made from bioRe® organic cotton and produced ecologically and on fair terms.
Use of the bioRe® Sustainable Cotton quality label will give your products a distinct profile in a blurred organic-cotton market and make buying decisions easier for your interested consumers.
The fair-trading cotton marked with the bioRe® Sustainable Cotton quality label originates from controlled organic farming by smallholders in India and Tanzania. Non-GMO seeds are used for growing the organic cotton. As it is increasingly difficult for farmers to obtain non-GMO seeds, Remei India Ltd. has begun to produce its own organic cotton seeds. The bioRe® Foundation supports and promotes this research project.
Remei grants the farmers, who have a say in farming decisions, a purchase guarantee for their cotton crop and pays a 15% premium on the market price for the fibres harvested.
Under the bioRe® Sustainable Cotton quality label, use of genetic engineering, pesticides and toxic substances is fully excluded from cultivation. Compliance with the most demanding ecological and social requirements is guaranteed from organic cotton through ginning to finished yarns.
